As we read in the Court and Commercial Gazette:
The District Court in Jelenia Góra, 5th Commercial Division, by a decision dated 9 February 2015 in case file no. V GU 33/14, declared the bankruptcy of CERAMIKA „PRZYBORSK” Sp. z o.o., Gierałtów 243b, 59-730 Nowogrodziec, including liquidation of the debtor’s assets, appointing SSR Zbigniew Klin as the commissioner judge and Barbara Koper as the trustee.
Creditors of the bankrupt company are called upon to submit their claims, in two identical copies, to the commissioner judge at the following address within two months of the date this notice is published in the “Court and Commercial Gazette”: District Court in Jelenia Góra, 5th Commercial Division, ul. Bankowa 18, 58-500 Jelenia Góra, quoting case file no. V GUp 4/15.
Persons entitled to rights, as well as personal rights and claims encumbering real estate belonging to the bankrupt company, if these have not been disclosed by an entry in the land and mortgage register, are called upon to report them to the commissioner judge within two months of this notice appearing in the “Court and Commercial Gazette”, under penalty of losing the right to invoke them in the bankruptcy proceedings.
Przyborsk has nearly a century and a half of tradition. It produces, among other things, stoneware fittings and tiles, clinker tiles and bricks, as well as decorative and architectural motifs. It was in Przyborsk that the world’s largest Nowogrodziec Pot was fired, made by the Gdańsk artist Andrzej Trzaska.
The reason for the bankruptcy was the company’s enormous debt. The trustee leased it to a Warsaw company, and the lessees are continuing the business. As we managed to establish, some people did in fact lose their jobs—the management and administration—but, for example, one additional person was hired in the production department. The lessee adjusted the number of employees to the number of orders.
What next?
Claims are currently being submitted for inclusion on the list of creditors. An expert will then be appointed to assess the company’s assets. After the valuation, the trustee will first offer the company for sale to the lessees. If the price suits them, they will have the right of first refusal. If not, a tender will be held.
“I am doing everything possible to save this business,” trustee Barbara Koper told “ii”. “I could have closed it and dismissed the employees, but I did not. I want to sell an operating business.”
We will return to this subject.
