Following earlier rumours, it has now been confirmed that DyStar Textilfarben GmbH, DyStar Textilfarben GmbH & Co Germany and DyStar Holdings have all filed an insolvency petition with the local court in Frankfurt for the company's operations in Germany.

The insolvency petition includes the company's sites in Frankfurt, Leverkusen, Brunsbuttel, Geretsried and Ludwigshafen which in total employ around 1,300 people.

It has been stated that the insolvency filing was necessary after DyStar exhausted alternative solutions to their liquidity problems.

DyStar hold a wealth of dyes technology and it will be interesting to see where it all ends up.
