You may remember us reporting on a German company called Fritz Nol (or Nols?) that was looking to purchase ailing automaker Fisker. Back when we posted the story, it was not an official move, but now the company says it has sent a signed, concrete offer and is waiting for a reply.
The information comes from investor Ingo Voigt’s Facebook account, where he made a post of his own in regards to this matter. The offer was submitted to the DoE, along with a short presentation of their restructuring plan. He ends the post jokingly, by saying “now it’s time to pray!”
One of the key points of their plan to make Fisker a stable and profit-turning business venture is to have production moved out of the Valmet factory in Finland, and onto U.S. soil, with a likely candidate being the Wilmington, Delaware factory purchased by the company in order to start production of the Atlantic model.
We will keep you updated on the fate of Fisker, but we do hope that even if this German company does manage to get a hold of the company, they should somehow try and bring Henrik Fisker in too, not only to lead the styling department, but also as an investor. That’s something the 50 year-old Danish-born designer and entrepreneur reportedly admitted he wanted to do, albeit with the backing of a Hong Kong based investor group, according to Green Car Reports.
