Louverlux Louver GmbH – a success story Made in Dorfmark

2024

Change of name to Louverlux Louver GmbH                                                           

In July, Louverlux Skandia GmbH decided to take a bold step. With a heavy heart, it decided to initiate insolvency proceedings. Unfortunately, the utilization of existing guarantees left no alternative course of action.

None of this was voluntary, of course, and could certainly have been prevented in advance by rethinking the existing financial structure and adapting it to the current economic situation. Unfortunately, there was no corresponding reaction from the important external source, despite being a long-standing business partner.

As a result, valuable time was lost and ultimately the company had to go down the insolvency route. From the beginning, the business management and insolvency administrators did everything in their power to keep the business afloat.

The current Louverlux Louver GmbH was founded in September. This company took over the running business on October 1st with immediate effect, together with all of its employees.

Loyal customers, reliable suppliers and professional legal advice have ensured that Louverlux Louver GmbH has emerged stronger from this event.

We are very grateful for the loyal support from all sides!
