In June 2025, the Bundeskartellamt, Germany's competition authority, made a significant decision to block Tönnies International Management GmbH's proposed acquisition of multiple companies and stakes from Vion GmbH and Vion Beef B.V.

The acquisition included key slaughterhouses located in Buchloe, Crailsheim, and Waldkraiburg, which are crucial facilities in the meat processing industry.

This decision reflects the authority's commitment to maintaining competition in the market and preventing potential monopolistic practices that could arise from such mergers.
