Spin-Group, a carpet and rugs manufacturer in Belgium, has been declared bankrupt, leading to the redundancy of 293 people. Spin-group was severely affected by the crisis of the textile sector caused by decreasing demand. This crisis has led to numerous restructuring and closures among textile manufacturers in Flanders.
