“Too Late” Sign in Sight for Fisker

The beautiful adventure of Henrik Fisker is coming to an end. Due to a lack of a buyer, the manufacturer has already informed its employees.

For many weeks now, Fisker employees must dread the thought of opening their email inbox each morning. Unfortunately, current events have confirmed their fears. Through an email, the manufacturer announced this week to its employees that layoffs and the closure of factories and workshops could occur in the next two months if the company cannot secure its financial future.

Our colleagues at Business Insider obtained a copy of this message, which leaves no room for doubt. Fisker assures that it is doing everything possible to resolve its cash flow issues and confirms that discussions are being held with various potential investors to establish a recovery plan. The possibility of a restructuring is also mentioned, but given the manufacturer’s financial situation, this option seems completely unrealistic. The message is very clear: “it is possible that these efforts will not be successful…”

U.S. law requires companies with more than 100 employees to inform all staff of a possible layoff plan two months before the deadline. The deadline is therefore set for June 28. If no solution is found by this date, the facilities will close, assets will be liquidated, and employees will be laid off. A harsh reality that we have unfortunately sensed coming for a long time.
