shock for Thuringia! A popular company that is considered a permanent fixture has registered bankruptcy and thus causes excitement in the Free State. The Staffel Autohaus, known for its yellow color accents and locations in Hildburghausen, Schleusingen, Suhl and Sonneberg, faces an uncertain future. The news came as a surprise for many, but the employees cannot be discouraged and continued to work actively on orders.

The bankruptcy proceedings are already underway, and Managing Director Manfred Staffel is determined to save his life's work.

"We have to develop a renovation concept," says Staffel and emphasizes that he believes in the future of his company. The employees are secured by the bankruptcy money by December, but the uncertainty remains.

a vicious circle of the crisis

The problems are not only homemade. Staffel explains that the difficulties of regional companies intensify each other. "If companies get into trouble, they cannot lose their fleet orders. We will then stay on it. A vicious circle," said the managing director. This dynamic means that the order books are no longer as full as before, although the production speed has increased.

The future of the relay season and the 165 employees now hang on the silk thread. While there is hope for a turn, the question remains whether the company can survive the crisis. The Thuringian economy observes developments with Bated Breath.
