German specialty paper manufacturer Feldmuehle GmbH has filed for insolvency under self-administration, citing unsustainable increases in energy and raw material costs as the key driver behind the decision. Despite implementing broad measures to improve operational efficiency throughout 2025, the company reported that variable costs continued to rise faster than revenues, making profitability targets unachievable. On May 26, 2025, Feldmuehle submitted an application for insolvency proceedings to the local court in Pinneberg, operating under Germany’s insolvency code Sections 270 and 270b.
Andreas Romey of Eckert Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater has been appointed provisional administrator and will oversee the company’s management and assess its financial position. Feldmuehle plans to use the restructuring process to restore profitability and ensure long-term competitiveness. Based in Uetersen near Hamburg, the company employs around 200 people and produces more than 80,000 tons of paper annually, specializing in label and flexible packaging papers. In its public statement, Feldmuehle expressed optimism for the future, reaffirming its commitment to sustainability and innovation in the paper sector.
