Subsidiary of Lila Bäcker ceases operations. Mäkelbörger Kuchenmanufaktur, a subsidiary of the bakery chain, is now facing closure.

The bakery company based in Neubrandenburg will have to stop production by the end of March. Despite good capacity utilization, the business does not generate sufficient surpluses. Potential investors decided against a takeover due to outdated technology and the renovation backlog in the building. “Without an investor, continued operation is no longer justifiable,” said Count Brockdorff.
