The judge decided last Wednesday, 11 November, to launch the liquidation phase of Tubos Reunidos Group and of TRPT, the plant located in Nanclares de Oca (Álava). This step implies that PKF Attest, in its capacity as Insolvency Administrator, replaces the previous administrators and takes charge of managing both companies, according to what ESK of Tubos Reunidos has communicated.
The Tubos Reunidos Group has been in creditor receivership since May 2026 and, recently, the dissolution and opening of the liquidation phase of its parent company, Tubos Reunidos S.A., was decreed. At the same time, Tubos Reunidos Premium Threads (TRPT), in Nanclares de la Oca (Álava), is facing an Employment Regulation File (ERE) for termination brought by the insolvency administrator for its workforce of 60 workers.
In a public statement, the union emphasized that the opening of the liquidation "does not mean that the factories are going to close or that dismissals will occur automatically", and it insisted that "the sale process of the productive units continues to be the route planned to try to ensure continuity of the activity".
Along these lines, it has reiterated that "the sales rules, already approved, provide that the offers will be assessed taking into account not only the price, but also industrial continuity and employment commitments".
It has also pointed out that "it remains to be known how the purchase offers are progressing, what guarantees they offer for the workforce, and what labor measures they propose".
In light of this information, ESK has advised "patience and composure, because reading certain sentences or words can make us fall into excessive alarmism, although we should also not abandon a logic of caution, given that the situation is still grave and delicate".
The union has stressed that, at this time, "we are facing an important change in the judicial procedure, but not a closure decision". For now, it indicated, "we have no news about new deadlines, nor closures or structural modifications to the workforce".
After clarifying that the Insolvency Administration has not yet provided them with detailed information on this point, ESK trusts that next week they will be called to a meeting to delve into this and other issues related to the company’s future.
