ATLANTA, Aug 15 (Reuters) – Lowe’s Cos. , the second-largest U.S. retailer of appliances behind Sears Holdings Corp., on Monday said it would be pleased to see a combination of U.S. appliance makers Whirlpool Corp. and Maytag Corp.
“We certainly think Whirlpool could probably bring some things to assist Maytag with their continued investment in the brand,” said Lowe’s Chairman Robert Niblock during an earnings conference call. “We would be pleased to see the merger.”
Lowe’s sells both Maytag and Whirlpool products.
