At the end of January, the Carl Semler Schuhfabrik at the Primasens district court made an application for bankruptcy in self -administration, now the oldest shoe factory in Germany is taking a “difficult but at the same time important step in the provisional self -administration procedure”.
The restructuring concept, which was designed by the management together with the renovation expert Lukas Eisenhuth of the Abel and colleague, shows that staffing measures are without alternative, Carl Semler said on Wednesday. A total of around 25 positions must be deleted in order to align Primasens’ location.
These are in particular employees in production, because this will concentrate on the work in Hungary in the future. Product development, exemplary production as well as prototype stepping and the management and administrative functions are still controlled from Germany. Around 35 jobs will be preserved on site in Primasens.
The works council and the management have agreed a transfer company that enables the employees concerned to reorient themselves, to continue their education and to receive support in the job search. The employees affected by the dismissals receive 80 percent of their salary as part of the transfer company. As a result, they are better secured financially than with a termination -related termination, according to the announcement.
The opening of the bankruptcy proceedings is currently planned on April 1. At the same time, the restructuring measures creates the basis that the Carl Semler Schuhfabrik can continue to exist on the market in the future. Hope also makes the many regular customers’ response: inside Carl Semler on the upcoming autumn/winter collection.
