The takeover, which has received regulatory approval, will create a group with a combined turnover of just over EUR156m (US$238m) and employing close to 700 staff.


Both Pierre Schmidt and Stoeffler specialise in the supply of pre-packed products to supermarket chains, including cooked meats and sausages in the Alsace tradition, as well as ready meals such as choucroute dishes, quiches and pies.
