combining

English to French Marketing Marketing company services
Strategic partnerships with well established retail and wholesale groups in a variety of different countries gives X(cny) and its clients access to pooled global buying opportunities without the threat of *combining* with local competitors, as is the case with most buying groups.

Am not sure to grasp the meaning here...
Thanks for your help

s'allier / combiner

It is my opinion that the company doesn't have to combine their with competitors in order to meet the minimum amount of purchase required by the purchase group. Sometimes, small companies have to "ally" themselves with competitors in order to buy goods, because the wholesale group won't sell in a smaller quantity.
Example sentence:

[...] sans avoir à s'allier avec des concurrents [...]

[...] sans avoir à combiner leurs achats avec ceux des concurrents [...]

je ne pense pas qu'il s'agit de la peur des concurrents en tant que concurrents sur le marché local, sinon ils ne chercheraient pas à s'installer mais de la peur des relations elles-mêmes.

au vu de l'autre question:
concurrents locaux = nos concurrents ! (ça me gênait :) )
