Schindler intravede opportunità nella fusione tra KONE e TKE.

Swiss OEM Schindler sees opportunities in the KONE-TK Elevator (TKE) merger, including gaining customers and employees during the integration and acquiring assets if regulators require KONE to divest them, Reuters reports, quoting Schindler CEO Paolo Compagna. The complex integration process, Compagna said, will create disruption for both customers and employees, and Schindler will be "ready to talk and see and listen" regarding any potential divestitures. The CEO stressed that such a scenario remains uncertain. Finland's KONE agreed to purchase its German rival TKE in a EUR29.4-billion (US$34.4-billion) deal in April, creating the world's largest lift maker. Schindler has been one of the deal's most vocal critics, with Compagna stating it could create a "bloodbath" across the industry.
