Diepersdorf Plastic Manufacturing, a leading automotive parts supplier in Germany, has declared bankruptcy. The company, which employs over a thousand people, has been producing automotive components such as logos, emblems, decorative parts, radiator grilles, and control system coverings for half a century.
The firm, with facilities in Germany and the Czech Republic, cited rising raw material and energy costs, as well as dwindling demand, among the reasons for its insolvency. Consequently, over a thousand employees are now facing the threat of unemployment.

This move was made to the Nuremberg District Court. This development comes in the wake of the bankruptcy of its American parent company, First Brands, which is saddled with debts exceeding 11 billion dollars.
