Description

LKQ, an American chain that distributes car parts, has announced internal restructuring measures resulting in the closure of several retail outlets. The chain has recently acquired several other outlets and is consolidating its activities in Belgium. Concretely this involves the closure of the facility in Henrard, following earlier closures at Ichtegem and Erembodegem, and the creation of new ones in the south of the country.
