Schöma in Diepholz before the end? Insolvency application ensures worry!

The traditional company Schöma in Diepholz faces serious financial challenges and has submitted an application for bankruptcy. The 68-year-old company boss Christoph Schöttler informed the workforce of his decision and emphasizes that salaries are secured by the end of the year. But what comes afterwards remains uncertain. The preliminary insolvency administrator Berend Böhme is now urgently looking for investors or buyers, while Schöttler clarifies that securing the 95 jobs is a top priority.

Despite the tense situation, there are first positive signals from the creditors who are willing to continue to support the locomotive maker. Böhme plans to form a committee with creditors shortly in order to make more efficient decisions. He confirms that the future of Schöma is not necessarily equivalent to closure, but could also offer opportunities for a rescue. The orders are available, but the financial means are missing to maintain production. Schöttler is open to a takeover - the main thing is that employees keep their jobs.

The coming months are crucial, and Böhme has the task of regaining trust among customers and suppliers in order to keep the company alive beyond the turn of the year. The situation remains tense, and everyone hopes for a positive turn for the company that has been based in Diepholz since 1930 according to www.kreiszeitung.de .
