Restart in Northeim: Ex-Breckle boss brings fresh wind into mattress production!

Northeim, Niedersachsen, Deutschland - The traditional company Breckle, known for the production of mattresses, reported bankruptcy in early 2024 after working in Northeim, Lower Saxony for over 50 years. At times, up to 4,000 mattresses were made here a day, including pocket spring seeds, foams and box spring beds. The bankruptcy proceedings were initiated in March 2024, whereupon most employees were released by August. Andreas Breckle, who led the company, described the sale to a North German investor in 2020 as a "biggest mistake".

The last managing director of Breckle, Christian Paar, has now founded Paar GmbH. This new company started in December 2023 with mattress production, supported by eleven former Breckle employees. Paar GmbH was founded in partnership with Martin and Tobias Sommer, who are also partners. The summer also leads insolvent Lapur GmbH and continue them under the name BS Foam GmbH. Christian couple plans to design the new company economically using a dropshipping concept, whereby mattresses should be available in furniture stores within three days.

New logistics center on Breckle site

On the former area of ​​the mattress manufacturer Breckle in the south industrial area in Northeim, the property was sold to I&G Immobilien GmbH & Co. KG. The managing directors of I&G Immobilien GmbH, Daniel Wenzel, Walter Päuer and Willi-Ingo Kreykenbohm, took part in the bidding process according to the bankruptcy and were awarded the contract for a "double-digit million amount". The construction of a logistics center is planned in the existing halls and the infrastructure.

already well -known large companies from the region are the first client shortly before the contract is signed. The follow -up company of Breckle, Lapur, will continue the company as a tenant under the name "BS Foam" and resume the factory sale. The new logistics center is to create up to 50 jobs, and discussions with former Breckle employees are underway to get experienced workers back. Mayor Simon Hartmann welcomed the takeover by regional entrepreneurs and the city administration offered support to economically strengthen the region after the bankruptcy.

The industrial area in Northeim has established itself as the ideal location for logistics companies, especially due to the proximity to the A7 motorway. The official starting shot for the new logistics center should be taken on November 1st.
