You may not be familiar with the Bell Group, but you are sure to know two of its brands, Hilcona and Hügli.

The Bell Food Group is aiming to become the European market leader in raw ham. To this end, it has acquired Hermann Wein GmbH & Co. KG, a producer of raw ham products from the Black Forest based in Freudenstadt (Germany).

Further restructuring within the group is also planned. The Radolfszell site on Lake Constance (Hügli) is to be strengthened by relocating production from the United Kingdom. In addition, following the closure of operations in Eastern Europe, the subsidiary Eisberg will concentrate on the DACH economic area.
