That’s enough for the reopening: the branch in the Enge district of Zurich is closing forever.

Steg Electronics is out of money. “It is with great regret that we have to inform you with great regret that it is no longer possible to continue our operations at this time and we have to temporarily close our online store and branches. This decision had to be made due to lack of funding,” the company said on its website. First reported 20 minutes.

And more: “This is a very surprising and heavy blow for both you and us. Our employees are greatly affected by this development. We ask for your patience and consideration so that we can react correctly in the next few days.” Just a week ago, Steg opened a branch office in Schlieren ZH.

Business abroad also affected

Steg Electronics, the main sponsor of FC Luzern until 2012, has 17 branches throughout Switzerland. And 80 employees. An additional 50 positions will be added in Radolfzell, Germany and Bratislava, Slovakia. The shutdown also has an impact on logistics company Columbus.net. It’s unclear how many jobs were affected there.

Blick would have liked to ask questions of Steg management. There is only a dry message on the main page. No name, no email address or phone number.

Insurance must be to blame

Founded in 1997, Steg blamed others for the impending bankruptcy in a press release. “The trigger for this is primarily an insurance company canceling their credit lines. Equities could not cope with the consequences of liquidity, and the pursuit of short-term change also failed.”

What will happen to my order?

It happened that fast. Before long, the shop lands next to Steg. Also online. What will happen to open orders in the online store now? «Delivery of your order can no longer be guaranteed and will be deleted. If you have already paid for this, we recommend contacting your payment provider (credit card, PayPal, PowerPay, etc.) », Steg advises customers on its website. “Unfortunately, due to legal reasons, prepayment is not available at this time.” So customers can rub the charcoal on their legs.

What about warranty claims? These stay in place, according to Steg. “You have to report the processing directly to the manufacturer with your commercial invoice. We have informed our service partners that your product must be returned directly to you if the warranty continues,” says the electronics retailer.

Stupid only if the device is in the branch for warranty or other services. What ‘s going on here? Steg remains unclear: “Our branch staff will contact you in the coming days and explain how to proceed.” Ulrich Rotzinger
