Kika/Leiner: According to Supernova, locking places are to be used for my part

Alternate of ownership at Kika/Leiner

Kika/Leiner modified palms last week. After nearly five years as the proprietor, Benko’s Signa Retail Group bought the furnishings chain’s residences to Albert’s Supernova for an undisclosed charge. A Benko manager spoke of a “bargain” for the agency. The operational enterprise went – allegedly for a symbolic euro – to Hermann Wieser, who has been operating in the fixtures business for many years and turned into, amongst other things, income manager of XXXLutz and short-time period supervisor of Kika-Leiner in 2014. The actual property went to Supernova. The financial disaster filing has been introduced for next week.

“There is not anything to get from us,” said Georg Emprechtinger, chairman of the Austrian furniture industry Upper Austrian News before the announced insolvency lawsuits at Kika/Leiner, in which suppliers should write off receivables. “Since the Austrian furniture manufacturers are also hugely affected by the high inflation and financial uncertainty as well as rising working prices for strength, employees and uncooked substances, we rule out a restructuring contribution.” That implemented to a reorganization without financial disaster, “and that still applies if there is an idea to call for some thing like this after financial disaster.”

“The fixtures enterprise is currently developing very cautiously, and we should manipulate our prices intensively ourselves. That’s why I don’t see any leeway for the manufacturers to make any concessions,” says Emprechtinger.

As for the improvement itself, he says aloud OÖN: “We regret that such a lot of jobs are being misplaced and want the ones affected that they will fast discover a new task.” The new manager Hermann Wieser is known “as an skilled supervisor. We count on that he'll make the right choices and effectively prepare the restructuring of Kika/Leiner.”
