The agreement involves the acquisition of Glockenbrot’s Bergkirchen bakery and the establishment of two joint ventures with Rewe
German bakery group Harry-Brot has secured approval from competition officials to buy a factory from major grocer Rewe
Harry-Brot has acquired the Glockenbrot Bergkirchen bakery from Rewe for an undisclosed sum
The approximately 320 staff at the site will move to Harry-Brot
said the deal “will only result in minor competitive changes for the other market participants” in the country’s bakery sector
has produced private-label bread and baked goods for the retailer at two sites – one in Bergkirchen and the other in Frankfurt
Before striking a deal to sell the Bergkirchen to Harry-Brot
Rewe had decided to close the factory in Frankfurt
Harry-Brot produces bread and baked goods from ten plants in Germany
It generated sales of around €1.3bn ($1.48bn) in its 2024 fiscal year

Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis
explained the “decisive factor” in its assessment was that Glockenbrot had so far produced “exclusively” for Rewe within the group
“Harry-Brot is by far the leading manufacturer of bread and baked goods in Germany
The planned acquisition of the Rewe subsidiary Glockenbrot will further strengthen this position
we do not have any fundamental competition concerns that could justify a prohibition of the transaction,” Mundt said
“The acquisition will only change the competitive situation for other market participants to a manageable extent
there will still be powerful competitors in the primarily affected market for self-service bread and baked goods.”
Harry-Brot is planning to build another bakery in Erlensee
the company is hoping to start production in 2028
The Bundeskartellamt said the acquisition of the Bergkirchen site and the opening of the Erlensee facility would “at least in southern Germany
likely lead to an expansion of the product range and increased competition”
