“The reduction in staff is unpleasant, but necessary in order to adapt personnel capacities to the business volume, which has fallen significantly as a result of the decline in orders, and thus to create the conditions for an economically viable continuation,” said Stefan Ettelt.
According to the release, WUTRA had run into economic difficulties mainly as a result of investment restraint among important customers and increasing international competitive pressure; incoming orders had declined significantly since mid-2025. After out-of-court measures were not sufficient, court self-administration proceedings were initiated on 11 June 2026. The investor search was led by Simon Leopold and his team at ABG Consulting Partner GmbH & Co. KG, while attorney Joachim Voigt-Salus monitors the proceedings as custodian (Sachwalter) on behalf of the creditors.
