On 28 April 2008, the European Commission unconditionally approved, in the first phase, Tech Data's acquisition of Scribona.
Both Tech Data and Scribona operate as wholesale distributors of IT products. There was a significant horizontal overlap of the parties' businesses. The merged entity will become a clear market leader in the Nordic region.
Vinge acted as Tech Data's antitrust advisors. Vinge's team included Johan Karlsson (responsible partner), Mattias Ganslandt (Ph.D,) and Peter Alstergren (associate).
