Construction Bankruptcies in Austria: What Is Happening?
SÜBA Bau und Projekterrichtungs GmbH, a subsidiary of SÜBA AG, has filed for bankruptcy with debts of nearly €30 million. The construction sector is clearly under pressure.
What Went Wrong
High interest rates on loans and general market instability pushed SÜBA Bau over the edge. Inflation and rising costs meant the company could not generate enough income to cover its obligations. 14 employees and 110 creditors are affected.
Not All Bad News
The SÜBA group claims it has no bank debt and continues working on special projects with a total investment volume of €1.6 billion.
Other Construction Bankruptcies
