With the aim of achieving a sustainable restructuring of the Haberbeck Service & Print Group, the management, in close consultation with the court-appointed insolvency administrators, has initiated a structured investor process. This process concerns both the insolvent printing company Haberbeck GmbH and the equally insolvent group companies Vier plus Pro Graphik GmbH (trade marketing agency), Marktdienste Haberbeck GmbH (fulfilment, logistics) and ProWachter GmbH (sales southern Germany).
Pro Data Systems GmbH, which provides IT services for the entire Haberbeck Group, is not affected by the insolvency.
"The printing and media industry has been undergoing a profound structural change for some time now, and our group of companies is also facing up to this change," explains Bernd-Hartmut Paulsen as majority shareholder. And Bernd Windmann, managing partner of Druckhaus Haberbeck GmbH, adds: "We have successfully mastered the transformation from a classic offset printing company to a full-service printing provider with a high level of digital competence. Now we must adapt our production and cost structures to the changing market conditions.
During the preliminary insolvency proceedings, the companies will be continued in full without restriction by the managing directors of the individual group companies, together with the preliminary insolvency administrators, Mr. Hans-Peter Burghardt and Mr. Stefan Stodolka, attorneys at law.
"The clear objective of our joint commitment is to maintain the essential supply and service relationships of the group of companies, whose strength lies in particular in the holistic support of dealer networks (automotive, food retail, drugstore, fashion, telecommunications, etc.)", explains Hans-Peter Burghardt. In this context, the companies explicitly open up to external investors from the print & media, marketing and logistics sectors.
