Steinhoff Austria Unit Seeks Credit Insurance Deal by Next Week
[Bloomberg]
Bloomberg•June 8, 2018
Steinhoff International Holdings NV’s Austrian unit is in talks with international insurance companies to find a new credit underwriter for its suppliers.
Rudolf Leiner GmbH, a furniture chain also known by its brand name Kika/Leiner, expects to conclude the search next week, Chief Executive Officer Gunnar George said in a statement Friday. George said he’s in close contact with suppliers in the meantime.
Kika/Leiner sold the Leiner flagship store in Vienna to Rene Benko’s Signa Holding GmbH at the end of last year to secure operational funding after Kika/Leiner’s South African parent was rocked by an accounting scandal. The termination of the credit insurance could threaten to cut the furniture chain off from its product supply.
