PLUTA attorney Ingo Thurm finds investor for Holldorb body repair shop

Mr Ingo Thurm from PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH has delivered positive news in the insolvency proceedings for Holldorb GmbH & Co. KG: the newly established CCH Colour Company Hildesheim GmbH has acquired the business and taken over all 32 employees effective 1 May 2026. The purchase agreement was already signed on 30 April 2026.

The acquisition has been undertaken by the Kayki brothers and Mr Carsten Paulick, who have been doing business in the region for many years. Mr Hasan Kayki, managing partner of the company, will head up the body repair business. Customers will still be able to have their vehicles repaired at the usual location, and paintwork services will also be provided. The Kayki family has extensive experience in the sector. Kayki Autoservice GmbH has operated a car repair shop in Hildesheim for many years, during which time it has already worked closely with Holldorb on body repair and paintwork projects.

Holldorb is a long-standing business that is held in high regard in the region – among private and commercial customers as well as established insurance partners. “In our view, the company’s proven reliability and reputation are an important basis for its future development,” said managing partner Mr Hasan Kayki.

Insolvency administrator Mr Ingo Thurm said, “We have maintained Holldorb’s business operations since the insolvency order in January. Now we have found a solution that benefits all concerned. All staff have been kept on and we have also achieved the best possible outcome for the creditors.”

Employees still on board

The Local Court of Hildesheim, as the competent court, ordered provisional proceedings for Holldorb, a Hildesheim-based body and paint shop, on 12 January 2026. On 1 March 2026, the regular insolvency proceedings were opened and PLUTA attorney Mr Ingo Thurm was appointed insolvency administrator. Following discussions with several potential investors, he has now been able to successfully conclude the process of finding an investor.

Holldorb GmbH & Co. KG continued operating without restrictions despite the proceedings having been opened. Customers were still able to have their vehicles repaired, and ongoing and new orders were handled as usual. The employees remained loyal to the company and demonstrated full commitment during this difficult phase.

The PLUTA restructuring team also comprises attorney Mr Sören Werhahn and business management expert Mr André Dins.
