Manager Magazine said Thursday that Siemens has met resistance from Dresser managers in formulating integration plans leading up to the merger. The report cited unnamed sources.
Dresser-Rand expects the deal, unveiled in September, will close by this summer, although European Union antitrust regulators recently extended their deadline to rule on the merger to July 14.
Dresser-Rand, which supplies oilfield equipment, recently said it will cut its workforce by 8 percent in a move it said is "not a result or in anticipation" of the Siemens merger.
"It's in response to the expected activity levels present in the marketplace," Dresser-Rand said.
The extended EU antitrust investigation of the will add $200 million to the merger's cost according to the magazine report.
Dresser Rand last month said its recent fourth quarter included pretax merger costs of $5 million.
Dresser changed hands recently at $79.10, down $1.50.
