The provisional administrator, the management and employees will be working together in near future to help restructure the company.
"Our high-quality products have managed to keep their position in the market in past difficult times. Our goal has always been to set new quality standards and to further develop our products. We want to continue pursuing this aim," said Alfasolar founder and CEO Martin Denz. "Now it's a matter of positioning ourselves anew."
