Question marks still over Gollmann
July 26, 2010
DESPITE protestations that it’s
business as usual at robotics
supplier Gollmann (PD Fri) a
number of Pharmacy Daily readers
have advised that they haven’t been
able to get any response from the
company.
Phones are not being answered
and enquiry emails are not being
responded to, while the company’s
warehouse in Melbourne has
reportedly been vacated.
The Gollmann Bouw website is
silent on the situation, but the
administrator Ferrier Hodgson has
confirmed that the company has
ceased trading.
And as reported on Friday, the
Guild’s Gold Cross website no
longer carries an endorsement of
the Gollmann product range.
The first meeting of creditors will
be held tomorrow at the Ferrier
Hodgson offices, with a second
meeting to be held on or before 19
August at which the Administrator’s
report will be considered.
It’s unclear at this stage what the
liabilities of the company are, but
the administrators are not
accepting liability for the supply of
any goods and services from the
date of their appointment, 15 July.
Germany-based Daniel Gollmann
told PD that in the “unlikely case of
a serious technical issue” Australian
customers are advised to contact
the manufacturer directly in
Europe.
“The transition period will be very
short,” Gollmann insisted, but
wasn’t able to provide more
information about the future of the
Australian operations at this stage.
