Klagenfurt parcel deliverer broke: bankruptcy hits seven creditors!

Klagenfurt, Österreich - In Klagenfurt, the parcel deliverer Konstantine Tephnadze is slipped into bankruptcy. The bankruptcy proceedings on his assets were opened, with the company having liabilities of around 113,000 euros, while the assets are only around 20,000 euros. This means over -indebtedness of around 93,000 euros. Seven creditors and eight employees are affected. The bankruptcy was officially found on April 18, 2025, and a renovation of the company is not planned. So the company remains closed until further notice.

Tephnadze worked for Österreichische Post AG until the beginning of 2020 before establishing himself as an independent deliverer for GLS Austria GmbH in Fürnitz. His supply tours started from a camp in Spittal/Drau. Due to the high operating costs, especially due to long -distance distances and rising fuel prices, Tephnadze is faced with financial difficulties. In recent years, the personnel and operating costs have been greatly increased by legal adjustments and pandemic.

industry situation and the extent of damage

according to reports from Kosmo , the operating costs in the package logistics industry in Austria have increased as a whole. The economic situation is particularly difficult for smaller delivery companies, since many of them do not have enough financial reserves to cushion long -term cost increases. The Austria Chamber of Commerce emphasizes that in 2024 over 60 bankruptcies in the area of transport and logistics were recorded.

Tephnadze himself has been a sole trader in parcel delivery since 2013. Before his company was closed, he experienced a highly restricted business activity due to health problems during corona pandemic. These factors contributed significantly to his insolvency. The registration of claims is possible by May 26, 2025 via the AKV or KSV.

discussion about fair conditions

At the same time, the social partner model "Fair Package Office", which aims to create better working conditions for deliverers, is currently being discussed controversially. In this context, it shows how necessary reforms are to overcome the challenges in this vital industry, in which increasing costs and price pressure bring many smaller entrepreneurs to the edge of existence.

Overall, the case of Konstantine Tephnadze makes it clear that the bankruptcy rate in the industry is a serious problem that is reinforced by current economic trends. The interactive insolvency statistics of AKV show that the number of insolvencies has risen steadily in recent years, which has increased in the tense situation in the economic environment.

In total, this incident illustrates how important it is for the industry to find solutions to the current challenges in order to secure the existence of smaller deliverers and to improve the working conditions of the employees.
