Would you buy from an insolvent kitchen manufacturer?

Alno will not go under. The company is too big and too well positioned for that. There will be layoffs and production will be cheaper. Debts out, new investor in, and on we go,

I would not sign off on that. Who wants a kitchen manufacturer that has only been making losses for 20 years? The previous main owner is nothing small, he could save the kitchen manufacturer immediately. But apparently, he no longer wants to.

I wouldn't agree with that. Who wants a kitchen manufacturer that has been in the red for 20 years? The previous main owner is not a small player, he could save the kitchen manufacturer immediately. But it seems he no longer wants to.

I see it the same way – the relative size of a company doesn't really protect against final bankruptcy. And given the market development, I would also rather expect a complete insolvency than a continuation (however that might be).

I agree - the relative size of a company doesn't really protect against final insolvency.

We visited a studio today that specializes exclusively in Alno. Of course, they are also observing the situation (and maybe trying to justify it quite a bit). The owner stated that he suspects this is merely a radical negotiation step to reduce debt and put pressure on the creditors.
I also asked a second kitchen studio for their opinion and assessment of the situation - let's see what they say.

But I think we'll take the small risk anyway and buy an Alno or Wellmann kitchen. Even at the risk of receiving a cancellation.

Thanks for your answers and opinions!

We were at a kitchen studio a week ago that, among other things, also sells Alno. The kitchen consultant openly told us that there have been problems with Alno for some time (missing kitchen parts on delivery, delays), which is why they no longer sell Alno. I don't see why anyone should take such a risk. A kitchen door could break in a year and you wouldn't get a replacement.

Best regards

What good is it to you if the kitchen is set up, but 5 kitchen parts are missing?

Tough luck, indeed. But I don't assume that. On the one hand, because in my opinion that is the kitchen studio's problem and on the other hand, something like that should be noticed by the kitchen studio beforehand and they then have to stand responsible for the lousy kitchen. Since we still have several months, we will see how the delivery reliability develops with other customers anyway.

The more I read about the whole thing, the more I think it is just a maneuver to enable the shareholder Hastor to have complete control of the company. They probably want to increase their share.

But we will just have to wait.

Otherwise, it will just be a LEICHT.
