BIO:
Bergoss (1919 - 1977) was a rug factory in the Dutch city of Oss. The company originated from a cellulose cotton and kapok (a so‑called cotton mill) founded by Daniël van den Bergh in 1865. In 1888 Jacob van den Bergh moved the cellulose cotton factory to the place where Berghkwartier is now located. The factory expanded; looms and steam-powered machines were added. The company thus developed into a carpet-weaving mill, which was later enlarged with a spinning mill, a dye works, and a washing house. Ultimately, the site covered 5 hectares. The company was subsequently renamed Bergoss-Stoddard NV. In 1960 it was named Royal Bergoss and the enterprise was acquired as Koninklijke Tapijtfabrieken Bergoss NV. In 1968 it expanded vigorously but from 1974 Bergoss suffered losses. This was not only due to market conditions but also to poor management. In 1977 Bergoss’s management was replaced. The company was acquired by competitor Osse Desseaux.
