Düsseldorf, 1 October 2025
The restructuring of AMEVIDA SE has reached a successful conclusion. STRÖER X will take over the company’s operations, strategically advancing the development of the Gelsenkirchen-based call center and customer care service provider. The transfer of operations will be effected on 1 October 2025, contingent upon requisite approvals from the antitrust authorities. In the course of this transaction, more than 2,000 of the company’s approximately 2,400 positions will be preserved.
“We are profoundly gratified to have secured a future-oriented and socially responsible solution for our employees,” said Dr. Matthias Eickhoff, Chief Executive Officer of AMEVIDA SE.
“With the steadfast commitment of all parties involved in the restructuring, AMEVIDA has been repositioned to embrace a stable and prosperous future under the aegis of STRÖER X,” added Thorsten Prigge, partner at activelaw and lead advisor on the restructuring process.
“Our sincere gratitude goes to all employees, employee representatives, and particularly to the Minister of Economic Affairs of North Rhine-Westphalia for their outstanding support in what has been an exceptionally challenging process.”
Approval by Creditors’ Committee and Trustee
The creditors’ committee appointed in the course of the restructuring proceedings endorsed the sale, as did the trustee appointed by the Essen District Court, attorney Nils Meißner of GÖRG.
Background
AMEVIDA had faced a critical situation due to a complex market environment and sharply rising costs. Although management had initiated stabilization measures, these could not be concluded outside of formal proceedings. Consequently, on 27 May 2025, the company filed for debtor-in-possession proceedings with the Essen District Court, which were officially opened on 1 August 2025. Throughout the proceedings, business operations continued uninterrupted, and all customer orders were fulfilled as scheduled.
Advisory Team During the Proceedings
The company was supported throughout the debtor-in-possession proceedings by an experienced restructuring team:
- Attorneys Thorsten Prigge, Johannes Blume, and Edward Stoye (activelaw)
- General Representatives Thomas Ellrich and Dr. Franz Zilkens (VOIGT SALUS)
- M&A Advisory: AURICON, led by Valentin Röttger
- Trustee: GÖRG Rechtsanwälte/Insolvenzverwalter GbR – Nils Meißner (Trustee, Partner, Essen)
