EZM Metallbearbeitung und Service GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Markmetall") is a subsidiary of EZM Edelstahlzieherei Mark GmbH and sees itself as a mechanical engineering company within the group of companies. In addition to focusing on replacement and wear parts for the parent company, Markmetall is able to manufacture custom-made parts both for its own machines and according to customer requirements.
In the 2023 fiscal year, the last full fiscal year without the effects of insolvency, EZM Metallbearbeitung und Service GmbH achieved a total output of approximately €3.4 million and employed 33 people.
In November 2024, the company – like its parent company – filed for insolvency under its own administration.
Both before insolvency and after the opening of insolvency proceedings, business operations continued without restriction. The restructuring of the company was successful, enabling business operations to be transferred seamlessly on July 1, 2025.
The long-term continuation of the company is now secured through its sale to Calfin. Business operations in Wetter will continue. The sale of the subsidiary ensured that all employees could continue in their jobs.
As part of the self-administration proceedings, the management of EZM Metallbearbeitung und Service GmbH was replaced by Dr. Kai Eck and Mr. Ralf Schneider from the law firm of Dr. Mike Westkamp, Christian Schulze, Dr. Michael Schaumann, and Dr. Jan Janßen (law firm GÖRG Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten) as advisors to the self-administration, as well as by TMC Turnaround Management Consult GmbH (Kai Peppmeier and Claus Keller) as restructuring advisors. The experienced restructuring expert Prof. Dr. Peter Neu, partner in the renowned law firm ATN - d'Avoine Teubler Neu – Rechtsanwälte, was appointed as administrator.
The sale process was supported by CVM Capital Value Management GmbH.
