Leifert Bakery Chain Files for Insolvency Amid Economic Downturn

Leifert, a family bakery chain operating since 1950 with 40 stores, has initiated insolvency proceedings. Managing directors Nils and Anette Leifert cited weak economic conditions and soaring energy and raw material costs as reasons.

Employees will receive wage payments through insolvency money in the coming months.
