Dutch term or phrase: overname uit faillissement
Profile of a technology group, which includes company X, for a general-interest magazine so the emphasis is on fluency rather than accurate rendition. Would "rescued from bankruptcy" convey the right meaning here?

De meest succesvolle 'turnaround' tot dusver is ongetwijfeld X: nauwelijks een jaar na **overname uit faillissement** was het bedrijf weer winstgevend om een jaar later in Düsseldorf op de internationale vakbeurs drupa 2004 te schitteren met een nieuwe kleurendrukpers, de X 5000, uitgeroepen tot 'hottest product of 2004'.

Think I'll opt for your 'bought out of bankruptcy' or perhaps 'acquired out of bankruptcy', which gets even more hits.

takeover after bankruptcy


Explanation:
This is a quite literal but I think apt. Company X went bankrupt and was then taken over (by another company) and made profitable by that company.

Forgot the word "translation" after "apt." I really should have my coffee before I try to answer questions.
