Tunnelling Journal reported on 7 August 2019 that the German tunneling powerhouse Mühlhäuser hit preliminary insolvency procedures and its parts are up for sale.

Journal says " SMT Scharf AG is considering in detail the acquisition of significant assets of Karl H Mühlhäuser GmbH & Co KG and Mühlhäuser-Obermann GmbH, both in Michelstadt, Germany, both of which saw preliminary insolvency proceedings open on June 28, 2019. "

Mühlhäuser had recently bought the French TBM producer NFM Technologies (ex NHI company). I understand it was a new hope for stability for NFM but then somebody posted a news from a local French newspaper that NFM workers are not being paid and they organized some sort of temporary strike:

Do you think NFM is part of the SMT Scharf AG deal?

Any insider info?
