PLUTA attorney Ilkin Bananyarli sells RÜCKERT + MÜLLER to ROM Technik

PLUTA restructuring expert Mr Ilkin Bananyarli has announced positive news: as part of an asset deal, Rud. Otto Meyer Technik GmbH & Co. KG (ROM Technik) has taken on 49 employees and selected projects of the insolvent RÜCKERT + MÜLLER GmbH based in Karlsruhe.

On 1 May 2026, the Local Court of Karlsruhe opened insolvency proceedings for the assets of RÜCKERT + MÜLLER GmbH and appointed Mr Ilkin Bananyarli from PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH as regular administrator. The Stuttgart-based attorney had already been involved as provisional administrator since 16 March 2026. He had been working in the meantime with his PLUTA colleague Mr Niko Maier to keep the business operating and conduct the process of finding an investor, which has culminated in the agreement achieved with ROM Technik.

PLUTA attorney Mr Ilkin Bananyarli said, “The employees have continued to fulfil the orders and shown great commitment in recent weeks. We have concluded a purchase agreement with the investor that, among other things, ensures the transfer of all employees and the full retention of the site. We have therefore achieved the best possible outcome for all concerned.”

RÜCKERT + MÜLLER has been offering innovative electrical installation solutions since 1980. The company plans and designs comprehensive electrical engineering concepts covering energy, safety and security, and connected systems. Building services engineering expert ROM Technik employs more than 2,600 people across Germany.

The transaction was concluded on 1 May 2026. By taking on the employees and thereby gaining specialist expertise at the Neureut (Karlsruhe) site, ROM Technik is particularly supporting the continued expansion of its portfolio in energy supplies and in safety and security technology in the Karlsruhe region. It is also ensuring a viable future for the site and long-term stability for the employees, customers and partners. The points of contact remain the same and the transferred projects are continuing as usual.
