Takeover: Berentzen negotiates sale to the USA
The alcohol group Sazerac from New Orleans is interested in the Lower Saxony company. The apple grain manufacturer's share price is rising due to the takeover offer.
Berentzen, a traditional German spirits manufacturer, is set to be sold to US-based Sazerac from New Orleans. The company, valued at around 33 million euros on the stock market, confirmed that it is in talks over a takeover bid. Berentzen has been struggling with declining demand for alcoholic beverages, with spirits such as Apfelkorn and Puschkin-Wodka accounting for only two-thirds of its 163 million euro revenue. The company returned to profit in 2025 with earnings of 2.4 million euros.
