LEPER, Be — Guy Parmentier, former export manager of Ragolle of Belgium, has closed a deal as export consultant with the company TOSUNOGLU Tekstil – based in Denizli – Turkey.

The family owned and run company TOSUNOGLU is a vertical  weaving mill with a dyeing and finishing plant. It is owned by the second generation Tosunoglu family members, brothers Murat and Mehmet.  

Parmentier has known this family for almost 12 years. 

Guy Parmentier  left Ragolle as export manager on or about October 1 in the wake of a restructuring and cost saving effort by the new management of this Belgian mill.

Roseline Ragolle, president of Ragolle left the company prior to MoOD. She worked closely with Parmentier who said he hopes to remain in the decorative fabric industry.   

The family owned company Ragolle is now being managed by three people in the family: Mrs. Myriam Verhelst–Ragolle, Roseline’s older sister; her brother Jean Marie Ragolle and Mrs. Veerle Ragolle–Vervaecke.

Roseline Ragolle presided over the acquisition and integration of ITM last September.  Guy Parmentier and Roseline Ragolle
That was Ragolle’s first entry into the contract sector which was branded ‘Ragolle Contract.’ Ragolle was adjusting to the new realities of the market and although a major player, Ragolle was becoming more adept on filling smaller orders of a highly diverse product line.

Ragolle is also a major producer of oriental and contemporary rugs produced in the same factory as the decorative fabrics.
