Tianying eyes $1.8b takeover in Germany

China Tianying Inc, a Jiangsu province-based solid waste treatment company listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, is eyeing the possible $1.8 billion takeover of a German rival.

Waste management firm EEW is considered Europe's market leader in energy-to-waste.
