Following British volt, Swedish Northvolt and other companies, BMZ, a veteran German battery company, recently officially announced its application for bankruptcy protection.
Founded in 1994, BMZ was regarded as a pioneer in the European lithium battery industry, with a valuation of more than 2 billion euros (about 16 billion yuan) at its peak, and had ambitious plans to build Germany's first large-scale lithium battery factory. The immediate cause
of BMZ's bankruptcy was a liquidity crisis. On September 15, BMZ's major energy storage customer unilaterally terminated the 2.8G Wh framework contract, causing BMZ's cash flow to break in an instant. Eight days later, the bank account was only 7.2 million euros, which was not even enough to pay the week's payroll + supplier's final payment.
BMZ is therefore at great risk of liquidity sudden death.
