According to Liebich, the procedure had become necessary because a legal dispute over a lease and considerable damage to the relevant property would have led to a cluster risk for the company. At the end of January, the company therefore submitted an bankruptcy application. The procedure is, Liebich to Schuhkurier, shortly before the end. The area that the legal dispute broke out was found in Berlin and is no longer part of the Permactum GmbH portfolio, Liebich continues. Overall, Permactum GmbH leads around eight areas.
Permactum GmbH was founded in the course of the bankruptcy of the Gelsenkirchen shoe retailer Schlsholt. At the end of 2015, the shoe branchist, who was taken over by entrepreneur Thomas Schmelzer in 1999, had submitted an application to open a protective shield procedure. Permactum GmbH was founded in 2017 and took over Schlatholt GmbH with 12 shops at the time.
In March 2018, Permactum GmbH submitted an bankruptcy application. In August of the same year, the entrepreneur Steffen Liebich (Leiser, Schuhhof, Anika Schuh) took over the chain store. Since February 2021, the Percentum has its headquarters in Neustrelitz (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). With this, Steffen Liebich took over the management. From August 2017 to June 2023, Thomas Schmelzer was managing director of Permactum, according to the Northdata portal.
Steffen Liebich, according to his own statements, counts 50 to 65 shoe trading locations to his company.
