German meat manufacturer The Premium Food Group (PFG) has invested in local sausage and hams business The Family Butchers (TFB) to stabilize the company in a challenging economic environment. The move is pending approval from the local antitrust authority. PFG will acquire shares in TFB from Hans-Ewald Reinert, co-owner of InFamily Foods Holding.

As part of the deal, TFB will gain access to raw materials and financial flexibility crucial for its survival. The investment from PFG comes at a time of industry changes, including overcapacities, rising costs, regulatory requirements, and declining meat consumption. PFG will continue to supply raw materials to TFB, maintaining open competition among suppliers.

In Germany, pork remains the primary meat consumed, but there has been a downward trend in recent years. Per capita consumption of pork declined to 35.8kg in 2024, while beef consumption also dropped to 11.6kg. However, per capita poultry consumption increased to 20.6kg. PFG rebranded from Tönnies Group to reflect its broader food manufacturing focus.
