Statement

Karlie Flamingo speaks out

14.11.2016

After the company recently announced that one of the two managers of the Belgian subsidiaries Karlie Flamingo Belgium Holding had filed for insolvency and Karlie Group GmbH had sold its shares to Sharples & Grant Ltd., Dominik Müser, CEO / management of Karlie Flamingo GmbH commented to petonline on the current situation and its possible effects on Karlie Flamingo GmbH (Germany)."We are bound to be negatively influenced by the insolvency of the Belgian subgroup in the next few weeks. A temporary drop in our level of service is expected to accompany this.
This is because Karlie Flamingo GmbH needs a transitional time period to change over to a complete goods supply from Germany, which is also subject to replenishment times from the Far East. The team in Germany is currently working full out to keep these effects to a minimum," explains Dominik Müser. Delivery problems cannot, therefore, be ruled out. "However I am very confident that we will come out of this phase much stronger," continues Müser.
The sale of the subsidiary in England, Sharples & Grant Ltd., won't have any influence at all on operational business, according to Müser, as this company economized under a different brand and completely self-sufficiently. "This was another consequent step towards Karlie Flamingo's long-term recovery," explains Müser.
"We are very confident about the future and would like business in Germany to carry on completely as usual. Our goal is still to have the 'old' Karlie back on the market again in 2017," says Müser.
