What happened
Colas Group acquired Suit-Kote, a company based in Cortland. The Pennsylvania Attorney General subsequently challenged the merger, asking a federal district court to rule that the acquisition violates Section 7 of the federal Clayton Act. The concern raised is that the merger would significantly increase concentration in the already highly concentrated asphalt emulsions and pavement preservation markets in the northeast.

Why it matters
The challenge targets the consolidation of two leading producers of asphalt emulsions and pavement preservation services in the northeast. If the merger is blocked or modified, it could impact the market structure and operational plans of Colas Group and Suit-Kote.
