Ssangyong Motor, driven by a liquidity crisis, stopped its factory again due to the interruption of supply by some parts makers.

There is a growing sense of crisis in court management as the sale negotiations have stalled and the input of new funds is uncertain.

Ssangyong Motor's Pyeongtaek plant has stopped.



Except for a few staff coming and going, the area around the factory was empty.



This is the second time that the factory was closed after filing for legal management in December of last year.



This is because some suppliers have stopped supplying parts asking for payment of outstanding payments.



[Ssangyong Motor Company representative: From the 8th, there is a plan for normal operation.

Since it is the 3rd (discontinued), of course, production disruption will occur.

(Sales also) overall, it will be a little less.] The



only means for Ssangyong Motor, which has already fallen into capital erosion to provide liquidity, is the only way to secure liquidity, and the downside of the process was also a bad thing.



Suppliers are saying that they will resume supply only after resolving the delivery price, but the problem is that attracting additional investment has become uncertain.



As the last card for rehabilitation, Ssangyong Motor has been promoting the'P Plan', a pre-rehabilitation plan, in which creditors inject new funds when the court reduces debt.



However, the US auto retailer HAAH, who was a candidate for the acquisition and a potential investor, withdrew, and the Korea Development Bank, the main creditor, said it was impossible to provide additional funding without attracting investment.



[Lee Hang-gu / Member of Korea Automobile Research Institute: The ARS (autonomous restructuring) period is the end of February.

If not, I'll have to look for new investors.

If HAAH really pulls out completely.

It's impossible.] If



we go to the rehabilitation process, the possibility of liquidation cannot be ruled out due to long-lasting business difficulties.
