Cartridge World Germany (CWD) recently filed for bankruptcy after more than twelve years of trading.
CWD was established in April 2005 and focused on the refill shop strategy. In December 2011 CWD announced that ten new stores were to open in 2012.
In 2015 the German franchise successfully launched a range of refurbished apple MacBooks Pro’s and MacBook Air’s, targeted at the student market.
At its peak, CWD had over fifty stores across Germany, but several stores have left the franchise in recent years, and a further thirteen stores were due to renew their franchise agreements this year.
At the time of publication, the CWD website is operational, and the stores are open and still trading. The Recycler has contacted Cartridge World Headquarters but had not received a response.
The company filed for bankruptcy on 1st September 2017. The supervisor is Dr Anja Commandeur of GÖRG Insolvenzverwalter GbR. Click here for contact details.
