| Favorable Verdict for Wilsonart International Illinois Tool Works Inc. said that a federal jury in New York rendered a favorable verdict for its Wilsonart International, Inc. business as part of a consolidated class action lawsuit filed in June 2000 on behalf of purchasers of high-pressure laminate. After a two-month trial, the jury unanimously rejected claims that Wilsonart participated in an alleged conspiracy with competitors to fix, raise, maintain or stabilize prices for high-pressure laminate between 1994 and 2000. As a wholly owned subsidiary of ITW, Wilsonart International is a leading manufacturer of decorative surfacing products, including Wilsonart Laminate, Wilsonart Solid Surface and Wilsonart Flooring. Based in Temple, Texas, the company was acquired by ITW in 1999 as part of the Premark International, Inc. transaction. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
