consumers, lesser quality products that do
not have the longevity consumers have come
to expect and ultimately harm the industry.
Fortune’s business model relies less and less
on small business relationships, rather they
are actively moving away from these smaller
companies in favor of larger distributors, big
box stores, online retailers, etc. Since it is not
clear if Yale Mechanical hardware (different
from Smart locks) will be included in the
divestiture, please note that the Masterlock
Brand along with Yale’s padlocks could make
for one sided market position. Also of note,
Schaub’s product offering is not considered
Mechanical door hardware.
Furthermore, the combination of Assa
Abloy’s acquisition of Spectrum Brands’ HHI
division and Fortune Brands’ acquisition of
Emtek could give these companies a
dominant market position in the residential
lock and hardware industry. This could lead
to higher prices, reduced innovation, and
further reliance on overseas manufacturing
where quality is often sacrificed and
corporate profits are favored. The harm small
and medium-sized businesses could
experience is not conducive to sustaining
healthy business practices that rely on these
companies for their lock and hardware needs.
Specifically, regarding the acquisition of
Spectrum Brands’ HHI division by Assa
Abloy, consideration must be given to the
reduced intensity of competition that could
take place should the following door
hardware brands share common ownership:
Yale, Kwikset, Baldwin, Weiser, National
Hardware, EZset.
I urge the Department of Justice to carefully
consider the implications of both the
proposed acquisition of Spectrum Brands’
HHI division by Assa Abloy and the
divestiture of Emtek and Schaub to Fortune
Brands. The value of small businesses to our
economy, especially in the Residential
housing market is not to be taken lightly.
The antitrust laws are in place to protect
the American people, and I trust that the
Department of Justice will take the necessary
steps to ensure fair competition in the
market.
I wish to thank Attorney General Merrick
Garland and Deputy Attorney General Lisa
Monaco for their high level of service to the
American People.
Thank you for your time and consideration
in this matter.
Sincerely,
Joseph Storrs
