Schwan the American Pizza maker in Leyland has sold out to the German Pizza maker Dr Oetker. Reading newspaper reports this gives Dr Oetker 43% of the UK frozen pizza market and this might be too much. Dr Oetker previously had 12% so it has made a step increase. It isn’t clear to me if 30% of frozen pizzas are made in Leyland, but if so it sounds like the dominant factory so you might think would be able to take on work rather than lose it. At this time the market is growing though so if there is any spare capacity it must be filling. However I know nothing about it and that is only a guess.
