acquisition is the worldwide market for
magnesium plates for photoengraving.
At the time of the acquisition, MEL and
Revere were the only manufacturers and
sellers of magnesium plate for
photoengraving, combining to account
for 100 percent of the relevant market.
III. Entry
Entry is not likely to deter or
counteract the anticompetitive effects of
the acquisition. In order to be suitable
for photoengraving applications,
magnesium must be rolled and coated to
exact and precise specifications.
Accordingly, a new entrant would
require substantial expertise in order to
enter the market. In addition, the market
is relatively small, which deters
potential entrants from investing in the
skill and expertise required for entry.

IV. Effects of the Acquisition
Absent the proposed Consent
Agreement, the acquisition would result
in further and ongoing competitive
harm in the worldwide market for
magnesium plates for photoengraving.
Prior to the acquisition, MEL and Revere
were the only providers of the relevant
product. As a result, the acquisition
eliminated actual, direct, and
substantial competition between MEL
and Revere, and resulted in a merger-tomonopoly in the market for magnesium
plates for photoengraving.
V. The Consent Agreement
The proposed Consent Agreement
remedies the competitive concerns
raised by the acquisition by requiring
MEL to sell the technology and knowhow for manufacturing magnesium
plates for photoengraving to Universal
Engraving. This divestiture replaces
competition that was eliminated as a
result of MEL’s acquisition of Revere.
Universal Engraving, based in
Overland Park, Kansas, is a global leader
in the manufacture and sale of products
used in the photoengraving process,
including brass and copper plates for
photoengraving applications. Currently,
Universal Engraving does not sell
magnesium plates for the
photoengraving process. However,
under the terms of the proposed
Consent Agreement, Universal
Engraving will acquire the assets
required to compete effectively in that
market.
The proposed Consent Agreement
also contains several provisions
designed to ensure that the divestiture
is successful. First, MEL must supply
Universal Engraving with magnesium
plate now, thereby allowing Universal
Engraving to enter the relevant market
immediately in competition with MEL.

In addition, MEL must provide
Universal Engraving with technical
assistance related to the manufacture
and sale of magnesium plates for
photoengraving. Finally, MEL will
supply Universal Engraving with
chemicals that are used in the
photoengraving process, particularly,
chemicals that are used to engrave
magnesium plates.
If, after the public comment period
the Commission determines that
Universal Engraving is not an acceptable
acquirer of the assets to be divested, or
that the manner of the divestitures is not
acceptable, MEL must unwind the
divestiture and divest the assets within
180 days of the date the Order becomes
final to another Commission-approved
acquirer. If MEL fails to divest the assets
within the 180 days, the Commission
may appoint a trustee to divest the
relevant assets.
The purpose of this analysis is to
facilitate public comment on the
proposed Consent Agreement. This
analysis is not intended to constitute an
official interpretation of the proposed
Consent Agreement or to modify its
terms in any way.
By direction of the Commission.
Donald S. Clark,
Secretary.
