Adler Mode: Does every rescue come too late?
The air for Adler Mode is apparently running out. At the beginning of January, the company filed for insolvency under its own responsibility and is, according to its own statements, well on its way to finding an investor. But right now Adler seems to be running out of money reports the WirtschaftsWoche – and with that the rescue threatens to tip over. The reason for this is the federal emergency brake, which has significantly increased the company’s financial needs.
According to Adler, the nationwide tightening of the corona measures requires additional financing of around 10 million euros – but it is still unclear where this money will come from. Because the fashion company does not receive any money from the federal government: grants and support measures may not be paid to insolvent companies. This puts 3,200 jobs at Adler Mode at risk. The company is now appealing to politicians to give up the blocking stance and to provide support.
