When we had barely enjoyed the first days of the new year, a new chapter in the well -known financial crisis that crosses KTM, opened in the form of a bankrupt That moment.
Integrated within the KTM Components subsidiary, this company is dedicated to the business sector of component manufacturing for the world of two wheels. With this panorama, the 103 workers who made up the company’s workforce so far, stayed on the street and without having charged their last payroll.
This situation was essentially given by two issues directly related to KTM: on the one hand, the production stop plan another, the consequent mass reduction of sales. At that time, Vöcklabrucker Metallgießerei had already contracted a debt of more than 3.5 million euros, something unassumable for the company’s accounts.
