Aston Martin has sued a key supplier that halted deliveries fearing that the carmaker would not pay its bills.
Warwickshire-based Aston Martin has been forced to take legal action against IMR Industries after the Italian manufacturer stopped deliveries of vital components.
IMR, which also supplies the likes of Ferrari and Maserati, is understood to have ceased shipments because of concerns that Aston Martin’s financial troubles would leave it unable to pay for the parts delivered. A source close to Aston Martin insisted the company always paid its suppliers on time.
It’s got this bad. Again?
The business, Aston – not, I hasten to add, this specific company – has gone down 7 maybe 8 times already, depends who is counting.
