Tran­sac­tion
The share­hol­ders of Nigge­mann have sold 100% of their shares to Trans­gour­met. By acqui­ring the family-owned company with a clear focus on fresh­ness, Trans­gour­met is further expan­ding its custo­mer requi­re­ments in terms of fresh­ness and quality, thus streng­thening its compe­tence in the B2B busi­ness in deli­very and pick-up. Nigge­mann will conti­nue to operate inde­pendently and under its own name with unch­an­ged management.

Nigge­mann is a family busi­ness with a history of more than 70 years and an annual turno­ver of 87 million EUR. With its high-quality fresh product range, Nigge­mann stands out in parti­cu­lar for its fresh poul­try and meat exper­tise.
