- HesseNoordnatie/PSA: décision en février?
La presse d’information générale vient de découvrir ce que nous annoncions dans notre édition du 8 décembre dernier, à savoir que c’est le groupe PSA de Singapour qui a de fortes chances de prendre une participation majoritaire dans la future entité fusionnée HesseNoordnatie. Si le groupe singapourien a été retenu, c’est pour la bonne raison que son offre était supérieure à celle de son concurrent immédiat Eurogate. Le groupe AP Møller/Mærsk avait été éliminé très tôt, son offre ayant été jugée dérisoire. De même que les trois groupes financiers n’ont pas été retenus, car ne s’inscrivant pas tout à fait dans le contexte du “plan industriel” envisagé, bien que l’un d’eux
aurait encore fait une approche de dernière minute.
