Van Hool, the bus builder, has not yet made a decision regarding possible bankruptcy. Despite a family dispute among the shareholders, the board of directors met on Tuesday and decided to take an additional week to negotiate a quick restart of the company. The company remains determined to secure a sustainable future for its employees and operations.
Van Hool has intensified discussions with potential acquirers and explored alternative scenarios in an attempt to avoid bankruptcy. The discussions are described as constructive and positive, with potential buyers expressing interest in taking over the company. However, it is uncertain whether these talks will lead to a successful restart or if other options need to be considered.
The management at Van Hool is prioritizing communication with all stakeholders, including employees, as they navigate through this challenging time. While specific plans for the future of the company or any potential restructuring have not been disclosed at this time, Van Hool is hopeful for a quick restart that will allow them to retain some of their activities and employment.
