What led to Doppelmayr's bankruptcy?

Doppelmayr has been struggling with financial difficulties for some time. The corona pandemic in particular has hit the ski lift manufacturer hard. Due to the travel restrictions, ski areas in many countries were closed for months, which led to a sharp decline in sales at Doppelmayr. In addition, the company has also been suffering from rising costs and supply chain problems in recent months.

The bankruptcy of Doppelmayr has serious consequences for the company's employees and the ski industry as a whole. Hundreds of employees at the Swabian ski lift manufacturer are now at risk. In addition, the insolvency could also have a negative impact on the restructuring of the ski areas.

What is the future of Doppelmayr?

It is still unclear what will happen to Doppelmayr in the future. The company's assets are now to be auctioned off. It is possible that a new investor will be found who will continue to operate the ski lift manufacturer. However, it is also possible that Doppelmayr will be liquidated and the company will disappear from the market.
