As of the beginning of January 2019, the Austrian Koenig Group will continue the business of the bakery machine manufacturer Fortuna. The company, headquartered in Bad Staffelstein in Upper Franconia, filed for bankruptcy in October 2018.
Fortuna is one of the oldest manufacturers of bakery machines worldwide. Since 1887, the name stands for technical know-how and product quality. The company develops and manufactures machines for the production of bread rolls and employs 90 people, including 17 apprentices. Having declared insolvency in October last year, the search for an investor began in order to continue the busi- ness.
