3C-Carbon Group AG becomes the new owner of motorcycle brand Horex

Landsberg am Lech, 06 February 2015 – Last Thursday at the creditors' meeting, under the direction of the insolvency administrator, Rainer U. Müller from Anchor Rechtsanwälte, the 3C-Carbon Group AG came out on top in the quest to purchase the Horex brand.

By the 3C-Carbon Group AG acquiring the Horex brand, an important piece of German industrial history was able to be saved from being sold off abroad. The exceedingly successful high-tech company from Landsberg am Lech has taken over the Horex brand with the goal of successfully continuing the soon-to-be 100-year history of a German motorcycle manufacturer that is rich in tradition. Horex brand motorcycle models should be brought back to the market as soon as possible and further expand their prior success.

In order to lead the Horex brand to a new bout of glory, not only a lot of heart and soul, but also essential optimisations are going to be required from a technical and organisational perspective. The goal is to devise a marketable concept in order to get new clientele enthusiastic about Horex.

Loyal fans as well as dedicated dealers form an important basis for this new start and should be involved in the process of finding ideas. The 3C-Group is therefore striving to ensure functioning supply of spare parts for the Horex VR6 models that had most recently been produced.

Social cohesion has always been a priority for 3C-Carbon Group AG. To mark the 15th anniversary of its fundraising campaign for the AWO multi-generational house in Landsberg (MGH), the group is donating a record sum of €35,000. 3C is once again generously supporting the AWO's social projects.

In the east of the city of Landsberg, there is still a lot of 'conversion work' to be done, while in the south, things are already well underway. Since 2004, 3C-Carbon Group AG has been transforming the site of the former Lechrain barracks into a (high) technology park in a process that continues to be very dynamic. This was confirmed during a joint 'exchange meeting' on site at 3C-Ring 1, attended by Member of the Bundestag Michael Kießling, Member of the Landtag Alex Dorow (both CSU), representatives of 'Penzing Studios' and, on behalf of the city of Landsberg, Mayor Doris Baumgartl, City Architect Annegret Michler and Economic Development Officer André Köhn.

More than just a taster: 18 school pupils took advantage of the 'Training Day 2025' to gain an overview of 3C-Carbon Group AG and the apprenticeships it offers.
