Emeco considers merger offer

Emeco says it is considering an unsolicited merger offer from its rival earthmoving equipment supplier, Orionstone.

Earthmoving equipment supplier Emeco is considering a merger offer from its rival, Orionstone.

Emeco says there is no certainty the unsolicited, non-binding proposal will progress as Orionstone does not have funding in place for a merger.

The company said its board had also reviewed acquisition opportunities as part of Emeco's new strategy.

"Emeco remains actively engaged in considering a number of potential opportunities, including Orionstone," it said on Wednesday.

Emeco shares were one cent higher at 12 cents at 1059 AEST.
