Mitsubishi Chemical Reportedly Joins BGC Competition Speculation is mounting that the Mitsubishi Chemical Group Corporation (TSE:4188) is pursuing the assets being sold by Buckeridge Group of Companies (BGC (Australia) PTY Ltd.) (BGC). As earlier reported by DataRoom, bids are due next week for the $800 million Perth-based BGC building materials portfolio. Investment bank Macquarie Capital is working on the deal. Last time the business was up for grabs, the country's building materials provider, Boral (Boral Limited), and Cement Australia (Cement Australia Pty Limited), a joint venture owned by Holcim and Hanson, were believed to be the keenest suitors. Suggestions are that the BGC unit on offer could be earning between $60 million and $80 million annually, which could put a price tag of $600 million to $800 million on the operation, based on its aspirations to achieve a price of 10 times its earnings. On offer are BGC's highly sought-after West Australian cement grinding terminal, quarries and concrete businesses. Analysts say building materials are attractive to offshore groups because of the lack of housing supply. Announcement • Sep 26
