Roschmann Steel-and-Glass Unit Closes After Insolvency as Glass Business Is Sold to Ertl Glas

The long-running façade specialist faltered after falling orders, project delays, rising costs, then late payments.

Overview

  • Regular insolvency proceedings for four Roschmann Group companies opened on October 1, and no investor was found for the steel-and-glass subsidiary.
  • About 100 employees in Gersthofen have been laid off from Roschmann Konstruktionen aus Stahl und Glas, with a small core team retained to complete ongoing projects.
  • Roschmann Glas GmbH has been sold to Austria’s Ertl Glas AG, securing a continuation of operations and roughly 50 jobs at the Gersthofen site.
  • The group’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and the United States are not part of the proceedings, with investor solutions already secured for the operating entities there.
  • Insolvency officials cite a weak market, reduced order volume, delayed projects and higher construction costs in early 2025 causing late payments and a liquidity shortfall.
