Court in Viborg declares Skive aluminium company dan-alu bankrupt

Retten i Viborg, the district court in Viborg, has taken the Skive metal company dan-alu a/s into bankruptcy by decree dated 9 November 2026, appointing the Aarhus attorney Gert Nissen as trustee. The decree, registered under case number SKS 5-391/2026, was published in Statstidende on 11 November 2026 as notice S09112026-251, and it starts the clock on the four weeks creditors have to register their claims.

The company is registered at Jegstrupvej 6D, 7800 Skive, under the central business register number CVR 34472947. Bankruptcy proceedings were opened after a petition received on 9 November 2026 — the same day the decree was issued, and the date against which every claim must be calculated. The trustee’s address given in the notice is Hack Kampmanns Plads 2, 3., 8000 Aarhus C.

Four weeks to notify claims to the trustee

The decree contains a formal call to anyone holding a claim or other right against the debtor to notify it to the estate’s trustee. The conditions set out in the notice are:

• Deadline: within four weeks of the 11 November 2026 announcement, a cut-off falling on 9 December 2026.
• Valuation date: each claim must be stated as at 9 November 2026.
• Documentation: the notification should be accompanied by evidence supporting the claim.
• Recipient: the trustee, attorney Gert Nissen, at the address stated in the decree.

The notice does not set out any special form beyond a written notification to the trustee, and it gives no indication that claims submitted later will be treated as timely.

Three weeks to request an election of trustee

Separately, the decree fixes a shorter deadline for procedural challenges to the appointment. Any request for the election of a trustee and of a creditors’ committee must be submitted in writing to the bankruptcy court at Retten i Viborg no later than three weeks after the announcement — that is, by 2 December 2026.

The decree records no such request having been made at the time it was issued, and Gert Nissen therefore stands as trustee as of publication.

What the decree establishes and what it leaves open

The published notice is confined to the formal elements of the opening: the court, the date of the decree and of the petition, the identity and address of the debtor, the case number, the trustee and the two deadlines. It carries no statement of the size of the estate, the number of employees affected, the identity of the petitioner or the reasons behind the failure.

Its operative effect is nonetheless concrete: from 11 November 2026, the company is in bankruptcy administration, its affairs pass to Gert Nissen, and creditors who do not come forward within four weeks risk losing their place in the distribution of whatever assets the estate may hold.

For Skive, the significance lies in the type of business involved. A metal company at an industrial address on Jegstrupvej is typically embedded in a network of local suppliers, subcontractors and service providers, all of whom are now creditors of an estate they cannot negotiate with directly. Their route is the one set by the decree: a written, documented claim, valued at 9 November 2026, delivered to the trustee in Aarhus before the four-week period expires.
