Hans -w. Goetsch from the BGP insolvency administration from Wiesbaden. The procedure expires according to § 270b InsO (protective shield procedure). This procedure enables companies to carry out a renovation on their own, while the creditor interests are monitored by the administrator.

The goal is to maintain CCE as a company and to develop a sustainable solution. Whether this succeeds depends on whether a sustainable restructuring concept can be set up and implemented.

Background to Custom Chrome Europe GmbH

Custom Chrome Europe has been one of the leading providers of accessories, spare parts and customizing solutions in the area of Harley-Davidson and other US motorcycles for decades. A wide dealer network and their own online shop were supplied with Aftermarket parts across Europe.

The reliable supply of custom chrome products was an important component in the range, especially for smaller dealers. It remains to be seen what effects the ongoing procedure will have on supply chains and ongoing business relationships.

Further steps and outlook

The procedure is currently still at an early stage. In the coming weeks, it will be crucial whether the economic basis for successful renovation is given or whether further measures are required.

Custom Chrome Europe has repeatedly been exposed to economic challenges in recent years, as in 2019, among other things, showed significant losses. With the protective shield procedure that has now been initiated, however, there is the possibility to restructure the company in a targeted manner and to make it future -proof.

Whether sustainable renovation succeeds depends largely on the development of a convincing restructuring concept and the support of the creditors. A successfully completed protective shield can secure the continued existence of CCE and strengthen the trust of partners and customers again.

What does that mean specifically for customers and dealers?

Custom Chrome Europe is currently continuing business operations under the supervision of the provisional administrator. Orders, deliveries and services usually continue as long as no contrary information is announced. For dealers and customers, this means currently: keep calm and observe ongoing developments.

If the renovation is successful, customers and partners could even be strengthened from the situation. Nevertheless, it is advisable to exercise a certain caution for larger orders or open payments until it is clear how the procedure develops.
