Core Grundig Unit Sold

January 29, 2004

Six months after it filed for insolvency, the German electronics-maker Grundig has almost been entirely sold off. On Thursday, a consortium consisting of Turkish television manufacturer Beko and British electronics dealer acquired Grundig’s core business for close to €80 million. Grundig has close to 400 employees and was founded in 1946. The sale effectively puts the company in foreign hands.
