"The Commission concluded that the transaction would not raise competition concerns given in particular the presence of alternative suppliers in the European Economic Area countries where both parties are active," the European Commission said in a statement. Under the deal announced in January, the companies will set up a new entity made up of Arcelik's European units producing major and small domestic appliances as well as consumer electronics with Whirlpool's European business. Britain's antitrust regulator said on Oct. 11 it had decided to refer the deal for an in-depth investigation.

Whirlpool and Cabri told a Delaware federal court they would dismiss the case with prejudice, which means it cannot be refiled. Representatives for Whirlpool, Cabri and Haier Europe did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Friday. It said Haier had hired Cabri for its own laundry division because he knew Whirlpool's trade secrets and that it would be impossible for him to work there without disclosing them. A federal judge rejected Whirlpool's bid to block Cabri's move last May, finding the Delaware court lacked jurisdiction over the trade-secret allegations. The case is Whirlpool Corp v. Cabri, U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, No.

REUTERS/Charles PlatiauCHICAGO/DETROIT, Jan 31 (Reuters) - The companies that produce goods at the heart of the U.S. consumer economy - SUVs, washing machines, heavy equipment and hamburgers - kept rolling along at the end of 2022. Bellwethers including McDonald's (MCD.N), General Motors, Exxon Mobil (XOM.N), appliance maker Whirlpool (WHR.N) and delivery giant United Parcel Service (UPS.N), posted results that exceeded estimates.

"As we go into 2023, there is going to continue to be inflation," said Christopher Kempczinski, McDonald's CEO, on the company's earnings call Tuesday.

Whirlpool will own 25% of the new company after the transaction is completed. Whirlpool Corp., whose European operations have been challenged by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, said Tuesday it is turning over much of its appliance business in the region to a new entity controlled by a Turkish appliance maker. The new company, which will be majority-owned by Turkey-based Arcelik AS, is expected to have a combined $6.5 billion in sales, Whirlpool said. The Benton Harbor, Mich.-based appliance maker will own 25% of the new entity after the transaction is completed, which the company said is expected to happen by the end of the year.

Jan 13 (Reuters) - NI Corp (NATI.O), a provider of testing and measuring equipment, said on Friday it was exploring strategic options after acquisition interest from companies that people familiar with the matter said include Emerson Electric Co (EMR.N). The acquisition interest from potential suitors, according to the sources, forced NI to adopt a so-called poison pill, which would be triggered if a person or a group's ownership of the firm reaches 10%.

Texas-based NI, formerly known as National Instruments, specializes in making automated testing and measurement tools to aid in research and validation of new technologies. In October, Emerson sold a majority stake in its climate technologies unit to Blackstone Inc (BX.N) in a deal that valued the business at $14 billion.
