Insolvency Story

 For 94 years, Hackle (the company) had been around Germany.  This afternoon, they declared bankruptcy.

Their products....mostly all paper.  Toilet paper was a big deal for them.  

They simply say that natural gas cost made it possible to stay on a schedule.

Government's problem?  Well....they will assign a lawyer to be the CEO, but it's hard to see what you'd do to change anything.  Government will pour in cash to keep employees working (to some degree).

I should note this as well.....they cited a second big reason in their paperwork.....the ability to do logistical situations.  

If you go and chat trucking companies presently....most everyone will say that it's a mess, with a declining number of drivers, and inability to deliver on schedule.  This is not a regional issue....it's a European-wide issue.
