Insolvency shock in Reutlingen: Krämer Automotive is fighting for the future!

There is currently sad news from Reutlingen in the automotive industry. Krämer Automotive Systems GmbH, a well-known supplier, filed for bankruptcy on July 17, 2025. This decision was announced at the Tübingen District Court, and many are now wondering what happens next for the company, which was founded in 1974 and specializes in infotainment systems and digital cockpits. The bankruptcy was triggered by the loss of a major order, which has serious consequences for the company and its 18 employees.

The insolvency administrator, Dirk Poff from the law firm Walter Riegger Partner, is currently checking whether it is even possible to continue operations. The employees are protected by insolvency money for the next three months. Krämer Automotive is not unknown in the automotive industry and supplies renowned customers such as Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Bentley, Volkswagen and Magna. The loss of a major order has far-reaching effects on the company and causes great uncertainty among employees and partners.

The background to the bankruptcy

As the reports show, the loss of the major order has a direct impact on the financial stability of Krämer Automotive. The company has been in business for decades and has built a solid name for itself. At a time when many companies are looking for innovative technologies, one could actually have expected a stable order volume. However, the failure not only affects the management, but also the entire workforce, who now have to ask themselves what will happen after the bankruptcy.

It is not only an economic crisis, but also a human one. Many employees have contributed their skills to the company over the years. It is all the more dramatic that the existence of jobs is now at stake. The following question remains: How can the company survive in the required competitive environment and what support is needed to keep the best talent on board?

The look forward

Given these developments, New Year's messages are an appropriate way to spread hope and confidence. As the year comes to a close, many people are anxious to share positive news with their friends, colleagues and loved ones. In stressful December, when the holidays are approaching, many people tend to neglect New Year's greetings. But messages like these are particularly important in order to promote cohesion and encourage people.

A simple but heartfelt New Year's greeting like "Wishing you every good thing in the new year!" can make a big difference in difficult times. And especially now, when we face the challenges of life, it is important that we support each other. A look towards 2026 could perhaps also represent a new opportunity for the employees of Krämer Automotive.

It remains exciting to see how the situation around the company will develop. There remains hope for employees and their families that new paths will open up after the crisis. A strong network and good team spirit could be more important than ever in the coming period.
