DITTER's restructuring following challenges
DITTER PLASTIC, a family business with a long tradition since 1947, has made a name for itself in the manufacturing and marketing of complex technical plastic parts. The company is known for large-scale production as well as for tailored solutions in smaller quantities - particularly for automakers. Challenges in the automotive industry led to noticeable declines in revenue, necessitating a insolvency filing in early 2023. The company managed to avoid closure. The AluConcept Group acquired the business and continues it under the name AC DITTER. Over 200 jobs have been preserved.
DITTER continues to develop its own production and thus lays the foundation to meet the technological challenges of the dynamically evolving plastics industry in the future. This includes the AluConcept Group paving the way for DITTER into industries beyond the automotive sector. Concurrently, the current liquidation of non-essential fixed assets marks a crucial step in the restructuring. This strategy not only offers potential buyers the opportunity to acquire high-quality machinery but also symbolises a fresh start and forward-looking orientation for AC DITTER.
