The motorhome dealer Skandic & Nordic from Handewitt has filed for insolvency just three weeks after its 20th anniversary. The cause is a sharp drop in demand following the end of the pandemic boom, high interest rates, and economic uncertainty. Sales of motorhomes and workshop operations continue, and the salaries of 18 employees are secured until the end of February.
