To form or organize companies or producers into a cartel in order to control prices and competition.
From 'cartel' (Italian cartello) + the suffix '-ize' meaning to cause to become or to organize into.
When companies cartelize, they're essentially agreeing to behave like a single giant company while technically remaining separate—a clever but legally risky strategy that antitrust laws were created to prevent.
