Группа мясников купила сервисное подразделение голландского производителя Vion

Dutch meat producer Vion Food Group has reached an agreement with Group of Butchers for the sale of its Food Service business unit. Structured as a share deal, the transaction includes Vion Food Service Holding GmbH, Salomon FoodWorld GmbH and their respective subsidiaries, alongside German production plants in Großostheim and Holzwickede. The completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory antitrust clearance, the company noted. Strategic Restructuring Plan This move aligns with Vion’s ongoing strategic restructuring plan, first announced in 2024, to exit the German market and concentrate its core operations within the Benelux region. The acquisition of the Food Service business unit follows the prior divestment of Vion Food Group’s cattle-marketing operations, as well as the sale of two other major German processing facilities in 2025 and 2026, respectively. Tjarda Klimp, CEO of Vion Food Group, said, “This transaction brings great value to Group of Butchers while providing Salomon FoodWorld with an excellent platform to continue its successful growth journey. “Upon closing of the transaction, Vion will have completed the final major step in executing its German portfolio adjustment announced two years ago, while further strengthening its balance sheet. “Vion’s full focus is on Netherlands-based farmers, operations and chains, serving national, European and other export markets.” Group Of Butchers Group of Butchers is a manufacturer of artisanal meat products and savoury toppings, currently operating multiple production sites across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. By integrating the unit of Vion’s Food Service brands, the company will consolidate its market share in the European hospitality and wholesale sectors.
