Deutz shareholders approve €1.6 billion FFG acquisition with 99.7% vote
Deutz AG shareholders approved a capital increase against contributions in kind with a 99.7% vote at an extraordinary general meeting on Aug. 24, 2026. The measure will partially finance Deutz's €1.6 billion acquisition of Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft (FFG), a manufacturer of military and commercial wheeled vehicles. The deal was cleared by Germany's Federal Cartel Office in July 2026.
Why it matters: Deutz's takeover of FFG is the largest German defence-industrial acquisition this decade – and transforms an engine maker into a prime contractor for wheeled military platforms.
