Duchange Buys Henri Robert
February 19, 2012
BRUSSELS, BE—Late in 2011, M. Olivier Duchange purchased the intellectual assets of Henri Robert Textiles, a Belgian converter that went bankrupt.
With this acquisition, Henri Robert was merged with Brunswick, a bedding and towel importer owned by Duchange.
Henri Robert has always produced a decoration fabrics and upholstery: jacquards, plain and dyed fabrics, printed fabrics, blackout (also available in flame retardant) and readymade curtains.
Located in Brussels, Henri Robert had been in the textile industry since 1929.
The company also exhibited at Heimtextil 2012 and in the past had been a regular exhibitor at Decosit and MoOD.
Henri Robert Textiles has always been a converter in the low to medium quality range with imported product from China.
Several attempts to reach Duchange were not successful. However, it is expected that Duchange will use the Henri Robert Textiles brand for all product ranges including bedding and towels.
