Ferguson alleges Henkel-Liquid Nails merger would increase prices and reduce quality and innovation in construction adhesives
“We alleged that the merger would allow Henkel to increase the price of Loctite and Liquid Nails, and would lead to lower-quality products and reduced innovation in construction adhesives. This would obviously be bad for American consumers and President Trump’s FTC stopped it.”
Ferguson says Henkel-Liquid Nails merger is permanently blocked, benefiting home builders and DIY consumers
“This merger is now permanently blocked and home builders, as well as those who (like me) enjoy doing some DIY repair around the house, will continue to benefit from competition in the construction adhesives aisle at the hardware store.”
