What about the 'bankrupt' Vogler fleisch? Early October last year Germany's fifth largest slaughterhouse has been granted suspension of payments after the company had come into trouble due to overpriced pigs. In mid-February it is not yet clear what the future will bring for the slaughterhouse, because several stories are doing the rounds.
The German Fleischwirtschaft reported this week that the slaughterhouse will stop slaughtering activities on February 15, because it has reportedly not found an investor for the company, with 2,3 slaughters in 2015 and a market share of 3,9 percent, for a financial injection. through an acquisition.
At the beginning of February, Christoph Morgen, involved in the process on behalf of reorganization specialist Brinkmann und Partner, reported that three potential investors were specifically interested in the main location, which is located in Luckau (Wendland). Other investors are actually interested in the entire meat group, including the locations in Bremen and Laatzen. According to de Morgen, all potential investors intend to continue slaughtering activities. With this, Morgen tackles the rumor that competitors want to take over the slaughterhouse in order to close its doors. This is because the investors are all willing to pay for the China license.
According to the reorganiser, interested parties range from direct competitors to meat processing companies further down the chain. The chance that the company will be sold in several parts is therefore quite high. It will probably become clear in the coming days whether the slaughterhouse will be taken over after all, or whether it will close its doors for good.
