Bäckerei Moos files for insolvency protection in Germany

Bäckerei Moos insolvency protection Hessen bakery industry restructuring

The Hessian bakery chain Bäckerei Moos, based in Aßlar, has applied for insolvency proceedings under a protective shield to facilitate restructuring. The Wetzlar District Court has approved the application, allowing the company to pursue a reorganization under its own management.

The company operates 59 branches and employs approximately 480 people. According to company spokesperson Holger Voskuhl, the business is not yet insolvent, and production and sales operations are expected to continue as usual for the time being.

The financial difficulties are attributed primarily to rising raw material and energy costs, which the company stated could not be fully passed on to customers. Employee salaries for the period from October to December are expected to be covered by insolvency benefits. The regular insolvency proceedings are anticipated to commence in January 2027.

Founded in 1986 by Hartmut Moos, the company has been part of the Hannover Finanz portfolio since 2018. The founder stepped down from management in April 2024.
