WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (Legal Newsline) – A pie company has filed a class action lawsuit against Comtec Industries Ltd. after it claims Comtec prevented its customers from buying products from its rivals in order to maintain a monopoly.

Savory Pie Guy LLC claims Comtec devised and implemented a scheme involving various acts, including improperly refusing to deal with its customers who purchased dough forming equipment, parts and/or services from its competitors, for the anti-competitive purpose of impeding rivals so that the defendant could sell its products at “supracompetitive prices,” according to a complaint filed Sept. 17 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
