Cedar Rapids Gazette: The U.S. Department of Justice will require United Technologies Corp. to divest two Rockwell Collins divisions before it gives the final approval to the merger. According to a statement released Monday night, UTC will be required to sell off Rockwell Collins’ pneumatic ice protections business, which builds products to de-ice plane wings, and Rockwell’s trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuators business, which builds parts that help planes maintain proper altitude. The ice protections division operates in West Virginia, while the stabilizer actuators have facilities in California, Florida and Mexico.
