Electrolux makes bid for Daewoo
Swedish white goods firm Electrolux has lodged a bid to takeover South Korea's Daewoo Electronics, a spokesperson for the firm said on Wednesday.
"I can confirm that we have made an indicative offer on the appliance part of Daewoo," spokesman Anders Edholm told AFP, without giving further details.
"We are always looking for interesting opportunities and we will now continue the discussions about Daewoo," he added.
Electrolux will be competing against a rival bid from Iranian company Entekhab Industrial Group, according to Swedish media reports.
Daewoo Electronics produces mass market appliances including microwaves, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners and washing machines.
Daewoo was set up in the 1960s and became one of the biggest companies in the world before it disintegrated in financial disarray in the 1990s. Its shipbuilding and auto units are now independent companies in their own right.
