NETHERLANDS, Cuijk. The companies Ludwig Bierhalter GmbH and Teeuwissen Holding B.V. have come to an agreement to join forces on the purchase and sales of natural casings for the sausage and meat industry. Teeuwissen, being part of the Saria group since October 2014, will take a majority share in Bierhalter. The transaction is expected to close in Q1 2016 after clearance by the relevant regulatory authorities.
