GE may sell plastics unit for $11 bn

General Electric may be close to selling its plastics unit for almost USD 11 billion.

It may sell its plastics unit to Riyadh-based chemicals company Saudi Basic Industries, or SABIC.

A source told Reuters earlier this week that at least three bidders are in the final stages - SABIC, Dutch petro-chemical maker Basell and private equity firm Apollo Management.
