OREANDA-NEWS. July 02, 2015. GE [NYSE: GE] was notified today that the Department of Justice has initiated court proceedings seeking to enjoin the sale of GE Appliances to Electrolux. Electrolux and GE intend to vigorously defend the proposed acquisition as pro-competitive and pro-consumer.  Our goal remains to close the deal this year.  GE continues to believe that GE Appliances’ customers, consumers and employees will benefit from Electrolux’s commitment to the appliance business and its ability to compete with global competitors.
