Insolvency drama in Hildburghausen: 165 jobs in danger at Autohaus Staffel!

shock in the automotive industry! The car dealership season group from Hildburghausen in Thuringia is insolvent! On October 28, the Meiningen district court ordered the provisional insolvency administration through the group of companies. With 165 jobs on the brink, the employees face an uncertain future, while the insolvency administrators do everything they can to save the seven car dealerships in Thuringia and Bavaria.

The car dealership relay group, which has been in business since 1990 and offers vehicles from the Opel, Ford and Mitsubishi brands, fights with liquidity bottlenecks. These are due to declining sales that are directly related to the current recession in Germany. Managing Director Manfred Staffel said: "We hope that a rescue of our group will succeed together with the bankruptcy administrators." Despite the dark location, business operations continue at all locations, and the wages of the employees are secured by the bankruptcy money by the end of the year.

renovation in focus: future of the car dealership group uncertain

The insolvency administrators of Pluta Rechtsanwalts GmbH and FRH lawyers have already become active. You check various renovation options, both for the entire group and for the individual locations in Hildburghausen, Schleusingen, Sonneberg, Suhl, Coburg and Kronach. Pluta lawyer Sebastian Laboga reports on intensive discussions with suppliers, car manufacturers and financing partners to ensure the continuation of the business company. "Everyone involved supports us," said Laboga.

The situation is tense and the Autohaus Staffel Group is under pressure. The challenges in the automotive industry and the customer's purchase retention make the situation particularly difficult. But the hope of a renovation remains, while those responsible try everything to secure the jobs and the future of the company.
