(Adds context on Thyssenkrupp, FLSmidth)
GDANSK/FRANKFURT/COPENHAGEN, Jan 15 (Reuters) - FLSmidth is in negotiations with German engineering group Thyssenkrupp to acquire its mining business, the Danish mining equipment maker said on Friday.
The negotiations are at a non-binding stage, FLSmidth said, and there can be no assurance as to their result.
“Any transaction, if entered into, would be subject to, amongst other, statutory clearances from authorities, including approvals from merger control authorities,” the company said.
Sources told Reuters in November that FLSmidth was expected to show interest in parts of Thyssenkrupp’s Plant Technology division, which has been put up for sale in a process run by Citi.
