Gribbles Group is involved in analytic laboratory analysis, diagnostic pathology, food microbiology and chemical analysis.

Chair John Belgrave said the Commission is satisfied that the proposed acquisition would not have, nor would be likely to have, the effect of substantially lessening competition in the veterinary diagnostic pathology market.
The Commission will publish its written report on its website, www.comcom.govt.nz/adjudication, shortly.
