Existing orders will still be fulfilled, but then it’s over: The machine manufacturer Rosensteiner from Waldneukirchen (Upper Austria) has filed for bankruptcy and is set to close. The bankruptcy affects 23 employees.

The machinery manufacturer Rosensteiner, based in Waldneukirchen in the Traunviertel region, has accumulated approximately 1.4 million euros in debt. Bankruptcy proceedings were initiated on Monday. The long-established company, which has been in business since the 1980s, develops and manufactures agricultural machinery and equipment. Its product portfolio includes, for example, treatment stalls for cattle as well as rear loaders for tractors and other carrier vehicles.

Five employees are to complete existing orders
Now the company, which currently has 23 employees, is facing closure. “The business is to be shut down and the company liquidated,” according to the creditor protection association AKV Europa. However, certain divisions are to continue operations for about four more weeks to fulfill existing orders and complete semi-finished products. Five employees are to remain on the payroll for this purpose.

Rising costs and fewer orders
The company cites rising material and labor costs, as well as a decline in orders, as the reasons for the insolvency—there are 96 creditors. In addition, the agricultural sector’s reduced willingness to invest during the COVID-19 crisis, as well as the financial difficulties of a key distribution partner, have weighed on Rosensteiner GmbH.
