Elis announces the withdrawal of its notification to the CCPC regarding the acquisition of OCL
Puteaux, June 19, 2026 – Elis, a global leader in circular services at work, announces that it has informed the Irish Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) of its decision to withdraw the notification relating to the acquisition of 100% of O.C.L. Laundry Services Limited (OCL), announced on August 6, 2025, and consequently to abandon the proposed acquisition.
This decision follows several months of discussions with the CCPC as part of its review of the transaction. In light of the progress of the proceedings and the associated timelines, Elis concluded that the conditions necessary to complete the transaction satisfactorily were not met.
The proposed acquisition represented only a small portion of the Group’s business and will not have a significant impact on Elis’s growth trajectory. Elis remains fully committed to developing its operations in Ireland.
