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