March 24 (Reuters) - Schindler SCHP.S would be ready to challenge a merger deal between rivals Kone KNEBV.HE and TK Elevator before antitrust authorities, the head of the Swiss lift maker told Reuters on Tuesday.
Schindler CEO Paolo Compagna said a merger would be a "bloodbath" bound to disrupt the industry, as the world's third- and fourth-largest lift manufacturers would need to fit together overlapping customer bases, production sites and teams.
