Overview

• Stürtz Maschinenbau GmbH and Stürtz Holding GmbH filed for insolvency in self-administration at the Neuwied court on July 18 due to financing shortfalls after a private equity owner withdrew further funding.
• Preliminary administrators Jens Lieser and Alexander Jüchser have placed the firm under self-administration to keep production and services running on order books filled through mid-2026.
• Insolvenzgeld from the Federal Employment Agency will cover wages for approximately 240 employees from July through September 2025.
• Foreign subsidiaries in the US, UK, Poland, Canada, Romania, and China remain unaffected and operate as usual during the German restructuring process.
• Management, supported by the preliminary administrators, is actively seeking a strategic investor or merger to secure a sustainable financial future.
