Vion Food Group reported revenue of €4.17 billion for the 2025 financial year, representing a 1.3% increase over the previous year. The company also initiated significant divestments in Germany and announced plans to close its Apeldoorn site in the Netherlands.
Why it matters
Changes in European meat processing reflect broader industry challenges, including declining pig numbers in the Netherlands and global market pressures. These shifts influence supply chain stability and the availability of organic options like De Groene Weg, which saw a 40% rise in online sales.
Official 2025 financial reports confirm a revenue of €4.17 billion with a 12% growth in normalised EBITDA to €58.1 million. While these figures provide a baseline for the company's performance, the impact of ongoing facility closures and the future of the remaining German divestment process are still under evaluation.
The players
Vion Food Group
An international food company specializing in meat production and processing.
De Groene Weg
An organic meat brand and subsidiary within the Vion Food Group portfolio.
ABP Food Group
A food processor that acquired the Buchloe facility from Vion.
German Federal Cartel Office
The national regulatory authority responsible for monitoring competitive practices in Germany.
Group of Butchers
A meat processing company slated to acquire the German Food Service division.
The details
Revenue growth was primarily driven by price developments within a volatile European pig market. Operational adjustments included the completed sales of the Buchloe and Crailsheim facilities, as well as resumed divestments of German operations following initial blocks by the German Federal Cartel Office. The company also navigated a 19.8% tariff rate and managed biosecurity concerns following the detection of African Swine Fever in Spain in November 2025.
Timeline
2024: Vion Food Group generated revenue 1.3% lower than the 2025 figure.
November 2025: African Swine Fever was detected in Spain.
February 2026: Vion resumed the divestment process for its German operations.
Q4 2026: The German Food Service division sale is expected to close.
Health Landscape
The restructuring follows the regulatory precedents set by the German Federal Cartel Office regarding market competition and supply chain consolidation. These organizational shifts occur against a backdrop of declining livestock inventories across Europe, which directly impacts the long-term sustainability of the conventional and organic meat supply.
Readers tracking the availability of organic meat products may see supply fluctuations as companies like Vion restructure their European production sites. If you have questions about regional sourcing or product availability at your local market, consult your preferred retailer for the most current inventory information.
The takeaway
Operational consolidation in the meat industry is often driven by declining regional production and the need to navigate complex international trade tariffs. Consumers should keep an eye on brand availability for their preferred organic products as major suppliers reorganize their international assets.
What happens next
The sale of the German Food Service division to Group of Butchers is anticipated to close in the final quarter of 2026.
