Wabtec Corporation today released the following statement about the purported antitrust complaint filed last week by Progress Rail, a Caterpillar Inc. company:

Key Points: 
  • Wabtec Corporation today released the following statement about the purported antitrust complaint filed last week by Progress Rail, a Caterpillar Inc. company:
    “We believe that Progress Rail’s recent complaint against Wabtec at its core is an unsupported attack on the merger of Wabtec and GE Transportation, which was completed over four years ago.
  • The merger has provided benefits to the entire industry, as well as Progress Rail itself.
  • Progress Rail actively participated in the U.S. Government’s review of that transaction and benefitted by entering into agreements with Wabtec that transferred Wabtec technology to it as part of the United States Department of Justice and global merger clearance process.
  • We also firmly believe that Progress Rail’s assertions that Wabtec breached agreements or engaged in other illegal conduct are wrong.
