CPPIB, Onex among potential PE bidders for Lafarge-Holcim assets: Reuters

Irish cement maker CRH has teamed up with Mexican rival Cemex to explore a bid for all the assets Lafarge and Holcim must sell to get the go-ahead for their planned merger from competition watchdogs, sources told Reuters. They will compete against other strategic investors and at least four consortia of private equity firms, sources said. Canada's Onex Corp and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board were said to be part of different investor groups.
