Gama Corporation Files Antitrust Countersuit Against Graco
June 30, 2008 - TRENTON, NJ - In response to a lawsuit filed by Graco in New Jersey, Gama Corporation and Denis Commette filed an antitrust lawsuit against Graco
Inc. and Graco Minnesota. In their lawsuit, Gama and Mr. Commette allege that Graco has achieved a monopoly in the in-plant polyurethane processing equipment IPPE industry; has wrongfully abused that monopoly power in an effort to harm Gama; has wrongfully used its monopoly power to threaten Gama and its customers; and has wrongfully conspired and otherwise attempted to prevent Gama from fairly obtaining
business. A copy of the antitrust claim is available online at http://www.gama-usa.com/news.html.
