Märklin, the famous maker of model trains that was taken over in one of Germany’s best-known private equity deals, has filed for insolvency after the failure of long-running restructuring efforts.
The detailed toys made by the company, which marks its 150th anniversary this year, have made it a favourite of train enthusiasts. Banks were unwilling to extend further credit, Märklin said.
Kingsbridge Capital and Goldman Sachs bought Märklin in 2006, when it was also in financial difficulty.
Märklin said it hoped to use the insolvency to seek a lasting restructuring.
The insolvency comes as toymakers showcase new products at the annual Nuremberg Toy Fair. Märklin employs 650 staff and has annual sales of €128m ($166m).
