Timber construction start-up Gropyus files for insolvency for several subsidiaries
Published
The timber construction start-up Gropyus, based in Vienna, has filed for insolvency for several of its subsidiaries. The trigger was that a due payment from an investor did not arrive. As a result, the company had to reassess its financing, even though it had been firmly counting on the money.
Gropyus is one of the young companies that aim to grow rapidly in the field of timber construction. The company relies on prefabricated wooden elements, with which buildings are to be erected more quickly and with less material. Such concepts are regarded in the construction industry as an alternative to conventional solid construction, because wood, as a renewable raw material, is an important issue for sustainable building.
With the insolvency filings, the affected companies must now have a court review what will happen to them. An insolvency procedure is intended to clarify which assets are available and how liabilities can be settled. What effects this will have on employees, customers and ongoing construction projects is not yet known in detail.
The case shows how dependent young companies are often on the willingness of their investors to pay. If a planned financing falls through, it can quickly jeopardise the entire business activity. Further information on the proceedings and on the consequences for the group is expected in the coming weeks.
