PRAISE | CRITICISM | INFORMATION | ||
Pfeifer & Langen industrial and trade KG | ||||
In 2014 German regulators imposed fines amounting to around 280 million euros on the three major German sugar manufacturers, including Pfeifer & Langen, for concluding anticompetitive agreements on sales areas, quotas and prices. The infringements involved the sale of both industrial and consumer sugar. They took place over several years up to the Bundeskartellamt's search in 2009 and in some cases date back to the mid '90s.
