Lowentaler Strasse 20, 88046
Friedrichshafen, Germany, and WABCO
Holdings, Inc., 1220 Pacific Drive, Auburn
Hills, MI 48326, Defendants.
Civil Action No.: 1:20–cv–00182
Judge: Hon. Ketanji B. Jackson
Complaint
The United States of America
(‘‘United States’’), acting under the
direction of the Attorney General of the
United States, brings this civil antitrust
action against Defendants ZF
Friedrichshafen AG (‘‘ZF’’) and WABCO
Holdings, Inc. (‘‘WABCO’’) to enjoin the
proposed merger of ZF and WABCO.
The United States complains and alleges
as follows:
I. Nature of the Action
1. Pursuant to an agreement and plan
of merger dated March 28, 2019, ZF and
WABCO propose to merge in a
transaction that would unite two of the
leading global suppliers of components
used in the manufacture of large
commercial vehicles (‘‘LCVs’’), which
include commercial trucks and buses.
2. ZF and WABCO are the only
suppliers of steering gears for use in
LCVs in North America. Steering gears
PO 00000
Frm 00097
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
5707
are an essential part of the steering
systems used to direct the front wheels
of LCVs. They are also a key component
of advanced driver-assisted steering
systems that provide safer, more
efficient vehicle operation, and could
ultimately be developed to enable
autonomous operation of LCVs. The
proposed merger would eliminate
competition between ZF and WABCO
and likely create a monopoly for LCV
steering gears in North America.
3. As a result, the proposed
transaction likely would substantially
lessen competition in the market for the
design, manufacture, and sale of LCV
steering gears in North America in
violation of Section 7 of the Clayton
Act, 15 U.S.C. 18.
II. The Defendants and the Transaction
4. ZF is a German company
headquartered in Friedrichshafen,
Germany. It has 149,000 employees in
40 countries, and had annual sales of
$36.9 billion in 2018, $9.6 billion of
which were in the United States. ZF’s
North American business historically
focused on the production and sale of
transmissions to passenger and light
vehicle manufacturers, but in 2015, ZF
acquired a leading U.S. steering systems
manufacturer, TRW, Inc. ZF’s U.S.
headquarters are in Livonia, Michigan.
5. WABCO is a Delaware corporation
with a North American headquarters in
Auburn Hills, Michigan, and a global
headquarters in Bern, Switzerland.
WABCO descends from the original
Westinghouse Air Brake Company
formed in 1869. It has 16,000 employees
in 40 countries, and had annual sales in
2018 of $3.8 billion, $850 million of
which were in the United States.
WABCO’s North American business
historically focused on commercial
vehicle air brake and air suspension
components, but in 2017, WABCO
acquired a leading U.S. commercial
vehicle steering component company,
R.H. Sheppard Co., Inc.
6. On March 28, 2019, pursuant to an
agreement and plan of merger, ZF
agreed to acquire WABCO in a deal
valued at approximately $7 billion.
III. Jurisdiction and Venue
7. The United States brings this action
under Section 15 of the Clayton Act, 15
U.S.C. 25, as amended, to prevent and
restrain Defendants from violating
Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C.
18.
8. Defendants design, manufacture,
and sell LCV steering gears in the
United States that are used on LCVs in
service throughout the United States.
Defendants’ activities in the design,
manufacture, and sale of these products
