Porta is leaving the Oberhausen-based purchasing association Begros earlier than expected following its acquisition by the Lutz Group. The departure is effective retroactively from 31 December 2024, as confirmed by Begros in a letter to suppliers. A transition period will extend 'until approval by the responsible antitrust authorities and the subsequent closing of the transaction', but no later than 31 December 2025.

Until the end of 2025, Porta will continue selling Begros' exclusive and branded products, but only those already in its range before the end of 2024. No new exclusive or own-brand products from Begros will be added.
Begros' managing director, Oliver Müther, expressed gratitude to Porta's owner families, Gärtner and Fahrenkamp, as well as its employees, for their 'long-standing, trusting and constructive cooperation' and wished them success in their business transition.
