Overview

  • Insolvency administrator Lucas Flöther says multiple parties are in active negotiations to take over Meyer Burger’s German production sites.
  • Production at the Bitterfeld-Wolfen and Hohenstein-Ernstthal facilities remains suspended pending completion of the restructuring process.
  • Employee wages for the roughly 600 staff across both sites are guaranteed by insolvency pay through the end of August.
  • The formal insolvency procedure enables investors to acquire operations without legacy liabilities while leveraging Meyer Burger’s modern manufacturing and expertise.
  • Industry associations warn that European solar makers face intense price pressure from subsidized Chinese imports and are urging measures like the EU’s Net Zero Industry Act to strengthen domestic capacity.
