The corporate court of Antwerp declared Casa Logistics NV and Casa International NV bankrupt last week. Three curators were then appointed. They now warn of the false webshop. « The guardianship has nothing to do with this webshop, » it sounds. « It concerns false advertisements. »
In addition to our country, the chain is also active in the Netherlands, France, Italy, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Spain and Portugal and put everything together employed 2,230 employees. What will happen with the stores outside Belgium depends on the legal framework and the situation in those countries.
Casa is a originally Belgian chain, which ended up with the well -known Dutch entrepreneurial family Blokker in 1988. In April 2021, it sold the chain to the Amsterdam Investment Group Globitas. Today it is still 51 percent owner. The rest is in the hands of the Dutch entrepreneur Frank Pruijn. Earlier, the Swedish-Lebanese businessman Ayad Al-Saffar had stepped into Casa's capital, but that only lasted a few months.
