Harz in turmoil: Automobile supplier Bohai Trimet reports bankruptcy!
The economic challenges in the Harz Spread and the news of the bankruptcy of an important company causes great excitement in the region. The Bohai Trimet Automotive Holding GmbH, a large supplier of the automotive industry, has filed for insolvency. The Halle District Court has already officially opened the procedure, and all four companies of the company are affected. This step has taken the people in the Harz much because Bohai Trimet is the largest employer in the region and employs around 580 employees at the Harzgerode location and 98 in Sömmerda.
Bohai Trimet is known for the production of gearbox, chassis and body parts for German and Italian car manufacturers. The location in the Harzgerode has been an important part of the European automotive industry for years. But since October 2023, the first job cancellations have been threatened, and the number of jobs is now on the brink. Insolvency administrator Olaf Spiekermann, however, gives the all -clear: Despite the bankruptcy, production at the locations continues, and the wages of the employees are still paid by the company.
background of bankruptcy
The reasons for the misery are complex. Damuszis , a representative of the company, is particularly responsible for the change to e-mobility and the high energy costs for the current location. However, he also sees potential for the Harzgerode location and relies on the specialist knowledge of the employees. Mayor Marcus Weise (CDU) recently made a clear statement: the city wanted to do everything to support the procedure. "We are 100 percent behind our employees," he emphasizes.
In talks with the Prime Minister, the Minister of Economics and the district administrator, those responsible in the district and the state of Saxony-Anhalt signaled their support. It becomes clear that the city absolutely wants to preserve the Harzgerode location. "We are not allowed to fall into lethargy now," warns Weise for the active support of the company.
effects on the region
The bankruptcy has triggered a shock in the entire region. The industrial park, where Bohai Trimet operates, is of great importance for many local facilities such as kindergartens, schools, fire brigades and clubs.
The future of the work in the Harz is now decisive for new investors, and the first discussions have already started. The region looks forward to the developments and hopes for a solution that secures the jobs of around 580 employees in the Harzgerode and the 500 indirect areas. It remains to be seen how the next few weeks and months will run. The situation is tense for employees and their families, and everyone hopes for positive news that could bring stability back to the region. While the insolvency administrator sees positive signals in the procedure, the concern for the long -term perspective remains.
