July 11, 2022: -On Friday, embattled German gas giant Uniper offered a bailout application for the government’s support after being into extreme financial distress, Finnish majority owner Fortum stated.
Uniper was the initial German energy company to sound the alarm more than soaring energy bills because of reduced supplies of Russian gas.
It has been in discussions with the German state about a potential bailout in the current weeks.
“We welcome that the German Parliament has approved a ‘toolbox’ which will permit sudden relief to the effects of the gas supply crisis,” said Markus Rauramo, the CEO and President of Fortum, which refers to adopted German energy legislation.
“Next, we look forward to the German government to begin promptly implementing these tools to stabilize the situation in the energy industry and, particularly at Uniper, as we continue talks on a long-term solution,” he added.
Germany’s biggest gas importer, Fortum, said Uniper had been hit hardest by reduced Russian gas flows. The company has received only 40% of Russian contracted volumes and has been forced to source the replacement volumes at higher prices.
Fortum says that it was engaged in “constructive talks” with the German government about stabilizing Uniper’s business risks and financial position.
No decisions had been made on any solution, it added.
Shares of Uniper increase more than 2.4% on Friday afternoon. The Frankfurt-listed stock price is collapsing by over 73% year-to-date.

In an industry as competitive and fast-paced as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), standing out from the crowd requires innovation and adaptability. The cracks in the CPG supply chain were exposed long before the global pandemic struck, but the events of the past year only exacerbated the weaknesses.
Supply chain leaders, including VPs, often find themselves making bets with unknown financial consequences. Having started with largely infeasible plans generated by deterministic “one-number” planning systems, compounded by unexpected supply or demand disruptions, they are forced into last-minute adjustments to meet operational and financial goals.
Unsurprisingly, today’s supply chain faces numerous issues, including sustainability, technology, global economic and political instability, talent management, and supply chain resilience. Advanced forecasting algorithms and predictive analytics are used in supply chain management to help organizations of all sizes make better decisions by providing insights into what’s going on in their business at any given moment and predicting future trends.
Ensuring the right products are in the right place and at the right time is critical for companies also dealing with supply chain constraints and a high degree of variability. Uncertainty has become the name of the game and the only way to effectively optimize inventory through continuous, data-driven assessments, planning, and decision-making.
Food Huggers, a consumer brand that designs products to reduce waste at home, may be in an enviable position now but before they found Extensiv Order Manager, managing booming orders and staying on top of inventory was a huge operational challenge. The business has inventory spread across multiple geographically distributed warehouses, with orders received via multiple sales channels, including Shopify storefronts and Amazon.
