Cailler: Denner files a complaint with the Competition Commission

Denner has filed a complaint against Nestlé with the Competition Commission (ComCo) over the dispute about the price increase for the new Cailler chocolate. The Competition Commission is to decide whether Nestlé's price recommendations are unlawful. Denner is contesting in particular the forced harmonization of prices, which would have led to a price increase of over 8 percent for Denner and which Denner did not accept. Nestlé justified the price increase with the adjustment of conditions to those of other customers, where prices rose by an average of 0.8 percent. As Denner had continued to sell Cailler chocolate at the same price, Denner was no longer supplied and no longer carries Cailler in its range.
