The company is currently negotiating with potential investors to rescue solar module manufacturer Meyer Burger after filing for insolvency for plants in Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony. The provisional insolvency administrator Lucas Flöther told Deutsche Presse-Agentur: "The response to the investor process has been good, there are a number of interested parties with whom we are currently negotiating."
At the end of May, the Swiss company in Thun announced that it had filed for insolvency for its German subsidiaries with a total of around 600 employees. Short-time working had already been introduced beforehand. In addition, the solar glass manufacturer Glasmanufaktur Brandenburg in Lusatia recently filed for insolvency.
The solar industry in Germany is in crisis, particularly in the production of solar modules. European companies are unable to assert themselves against cheap competition from China.
