The family business is a specialist in fresh sausage in the self-service area and a provider of regional Bavarian specialties. The products are nationwide u. a. in the food retail trade (from Aldi to Harrods ) and in specialist wholesalers . In 2008, Ponnath had a market share of almost two percent in Germany for sausage products, making it the second largest sausage manufacturer after the Zur Mühlen Group and ahead of Stockmeyer ( Heristo ).

The history of Ponnath the master butcher goes back over 300 years. In 1692 Johann Adam Ponader practiced the butcher's trade in Kemnath in Bavaria and is considered the company's founding father.

In August 2012, Ponnath Die Meistermetzger took over the insolvent large butchery Gruninger from Freiburg-Hochdorf im Breisgau (Baden-Württemberg).
