Oct (KOSDAQ: 039200.KQ - news) 9 (Reuters) - Private equity (Swiss: PEHN.SW - news) firm KKR & Co LP said it would buy lifting equipment company Crosby Group and specialty material handling equipment maker Acco Material Handling Solutions from Melrose Industries Plc (Other OTC: MLSPF - news) for about $1 billion.
