Kolbus has been a family-owned business for 249 years and went into creditor protection in July 2024. The restructuring and investment will ensure 340 jobs remain at the Rahden business. However, 155 immediate job losses were confirmed, along with the closure of the small satellite manufacturing site in Krostitz near Leipzig and the relocation earlier in the year of the AutoBox machinery production from Houghton Regis, UK to Rahden. Over the last six months, machine orders have continued to be fulfilled and new orders have also been taken, highlighting the trust and faith that remains for the Kolbus business and its high quality products, ensuring stability throughout the process of securing a new investor.
