Plempe in transport: Zeiringer Transporte reports bankruptcy!

The Austrian transport industry is under pressure due to various economic challenges. A striking example is the bankruptcy of Zeiringer Transporte GmbH, which was announced today. The company, which was founded in 2007 by integrating the Zeiringer KG transport, currently employs 15 people and has a fleet of a total of eleven vehicles. Eight saddle vehicles for long -distance transport and three special vehicles are responsible for the transport of milk and long wooden charges.

like Kosmo reports, the bankruptcy concerns 26 creditors and all employees. The causes of insolvency are diverse and are summarized by the Alpine Banker Association (AKV). An essential factor was the economic downturn, which heavily burdened the transport industry. In addition, strong competitive pressure from Eastern Europe and increasing costs for fuel and staff tighten the situation. Special financial difficulties arose from the recovery of a large customer of 125,000 euros for which a loan had to be taken.

Financial situation of Zeiringer Transporte GmbH

with a liabilities of around 629,500 euros, which are distributed on banking liabilities of EUR 340,000, 100,000 euros in debt with suppliers and other tax and tax arrears, the situation for the company was critical. KURIER added that the company had been struggling with financial problems since 2023, with the losses were compensated for by shareholders. Another setback was the termination of the credit line by the house bank.

The company's assets are estimated at around 210,500 euros, but it remains unclear whether external rights exist on the assets, since claims to a factoring company have been assigned. While long -distance transport is now being discontinued, local transport is to be continued with the three special vehicles, whereby a monthly profit of 4,000 to 6,000 euros is targeted before taxes.

cross -industry challenges

The bankruptcy of Zeiringer Transporte is part of a larger trend in European logistics, which is also highlighted by Trans.info . In particular, the transport sector is facing increasing bankruptcies, with the number of insolvencies in many European countries increasing significantly in 2024. In France, for example, bankruptcies rose by 37.8 %, while Belgium recorded an increase of 50 %.

increasing operating costs, in particular in terms of energy and personnel, as well as difficulties in the order situation have put many companies under pressure. The current inflation pressure in the euro zone and the associated economic uncertainties represent further challenges that endanger the survival of many transport companies. It remains to be seen how the industry will adapt to overcome the existing difficulties and to make more resilient in the future.
