Overview
- Three German units of Belgium-based Domo Chemicals in Leuna and Premnitz have filed for insolvency.
- Preliminary administrator Lucas Flöther reports uninterrupted manufacturing and customer deliveries.
- About 585 employees are affected, mostly at Leuna’s Domo Caproleuna, with smaller teams at Domo Chemicals and Domo Engineering Plastics in Premnitz.
- The proceedings follow over‑indebtedness at the Belgian parent company rather than acute operational problems at the German sites.
- Restructuring paths such as an investor solution or creditor agreement are being assessed, as regional officials warn of potential knock-on effects for local suppliers.
