News of Photon Publishing’s insolvency come only weeks after its parent company, Photon Holding, also began temporary insolvency proceedings due to what the company said was an unpaid tax bill.

At the time, the company maintained that the proceedings would not affect its subsidiaries, which include Photon Publishing.

The forebear to Photon Publishing, Photon Europe, was restructured to form the current publishing company last year after facing financial difficulties and also going into insolvency.

PV Tech is seeking further details from the company.
