The Verachtert n.v. company was founded in 1949 by Mr. Jos Verachtert in the centre of Geel (northern Belgium, approx. 15 km away from the Dutch border). At that time his parents had a well-frequented retailing shop of sewing machines and haberdashery. Though Verachtert n.v. started as wholesale dealer in haberdashery articles, embroidery yarns and knitting yarns, they soon started painting latch-hook and Smyrna rugs and manufacturing needlework kits. |
