Unfulfilled massive order triggers bankruptcy for Mercedes and Porsche's key manufacturers
In the small town of Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, Kraemer Automotive Systems GmbH, a supplier in the automotive industry specialising in infotainment systems and digital cockpits, has filed for insolvency. The company, which employs 18 people as of August 2025, has not received a large order, leading to its financial difficulties.
Following the filing, Dirk Poff, a lawyer from the law firm Walter Riegger Partner, has been appointed as the preliminary insolvency administrator. This marks the beginning of a legal process overseen by the administrator, aimed at either restructuring the company to allow continuation of operations or, if that is not feasible, at orderly liquidation of its assets to pay creditors.
The insolvency process in Germany typically involves several steps. The insolvency administrator takes control of the company's operations, assesses its financial position and prospects, and attempts to restructure debts and operational plans to restore viability. If successful, the company may emerge from insolvency, or business units or assets may be sold to new owners. In the event that restructuring fails, the assets are liquidated to satisfy creditor claims.
The exact outcome for Kraemer Automotive Systems GmbH depends heavily on its specific financial situation, market conditions, and the willingness of creditors to cooperate. As of now, no precise recent details about the company's insolvency proceedings or outcomes have been found.
Meanwhile, other companies in the industry are facing challenges. Outbrain content suggests that Colours & Sons, a fashion label, has filed for insolvency, and a lighting manufacturer has gone insolvent, impacting two federal states. These developments underscore the broader economic challenges facing many businesses in the current climate.
As the insolvency proceedings for Kraemer Automotive Systems GmbH unfold, the community in Reutlingen and the wider automotive industry will be closely watching to see how the situation develops.
