Volker Böhm from the nationwide Schultze & Braun law firm was appointed preliminary insolvency administrator by the Fürth District Court. Defacto GmbH’s business operations continue to run in full after the bankruptcy application. The wages and salaries of the approximately 150 employees are secured by the bankruptcy money by the end of September. The goal in the bankruptcy proceedings is the sustainable reorganization of the company and the receipt of as many jobs as possible. This would be possible by entering an investor to the existing company. “We start the address of potential investors immediately. Defacto had already conducted the first discussions before the bankruptcy request, we will immediately build on that,” says Böhm.
Defacto has specified unpredictable and short -term sales declines as the reason for the bankruptcy by postponing and canceling planned customer orders. The resulting liquidity gap could no longer close Defacto on its own.
Defacto GmbH is a technology and consulting service provider for digital transformation in customer, data and process management. According to the Dodenhof, Intersport and Adler website, their customers include. In 2017 Esprit and Defacto were awarded the EDDI Award, a prize for successful dialog marketing.
