Questions about FALLER bankruptcy?

Since the announcement last month that Faller of Germany was declared insolvent and an administrator was appointed, we have had a number of customers ask for more information about the status of Faller products, both current catalog items and new items not yet delivered.

Many of the media announcements regarding Faller have used words such as 'liquidator' that have led many to believe that the company had ceased production and Faller products would no longer be available.  This is false and may have been caused by translation issues and a lack of understanding about the German insolvency process.  At the present time Faller is working through a court ordered reorganization and restructuring but is still producing their full product line and we are receiving Faller shipments at our regular intervals. We have not heard of any product cancellations or supply limitations due to this process so far. Faller is the largest of the German kit makers with many unique and popular product lines such as the Faller Car System and reports expect  them to emerge from this process with only minor changes noticable to the end consumer.
