Tradition meets transformation: himolla begins restructuring under the protective shield scheme
The upholstered furniture manufacturer himolla has initiated a protective shield procedure to safeguard its competitiveness in the long term. The aim is to overcome the current market downturns and position the company for the future. Despite the challenges, himolla remains a reliable partner for specialist furniture retailers – all orders are being fulfilled as planned.
The Landshut Local Court has appointed Arndt Geiwitz, a graduate in business administration from SGP Schneider Geiwitz, as provisional administrator. He will oversee the proceedings, monitor the restructuring process and support an orderly reorganisation. The management team retains full authority to act and will also be supported by experienced restructuring experts. The subsidiaries abroad are not affected by the proceedings. The wages and salaries of the workforce are secured for the coming months by insolvency payments.
With over 2,000 employees and a strong market position in the comfort-oriented seating furniture segment, himolla focuses on quality, innovation and customer focus. The reorganisation process is being supported by SGP Schneider Geiwitz, FalkenSteg and DMR Legal, with the aim of sustainably realigning the company and positioning it to remain competitive in the long term.

In practice, attempts at turnaround and restructuring in small and medium-sized enterprises rarely fail due to a lack of strategies—the real sticking point usually lies in the fact that warning signs are overlooked, problems are swept under the rug internally, and key stakeholders are not brought on board in a timely manner. Dr. Markus Mairgünther, attorney at SGP Schneider Geiwitz & Partner PartGmbB (Augsburg und München), explains how entrepreneurs, managing directors, and turnaround consultants can build trust and initiate a turnaround through early, transparent crisis communication.
