Industrial gas makers Linde, Praxair resume merger talks
BERLIN — Industrial gas makers Linde AG and Praxair Inc. are resuming talks about a possible merger that they abandoned in September.
Linde said Wednesday that its management board decided to return to talks on “the essential terms of a potential merger of equals” on the basis of a proposal by Praxair, based in Danbury, Connecticut.
The two companies announced preliminary talks in mid-August but dropped them a few weeks later.
