How it all started

On March 5, 1969, André Vergalle started at the age of 21 in a secondary occupation with the activity "general joinery and carpentry of buildings". It took seven years before this became a full-time one-man business. The amount of work constantly increased and the spacious 100 m² garage quickly became too small.

PLC André Vergalle

The first recruitments and the first expansion were necessary to be able to follow the growth of the company. This led to the creation of André Vergalle PLC on November 20, 1981 and the covering of its courtyard in such a way that the total surface area was 300m². In the space of four years, the company evolved so favorably that a larger location was once again required.

Vergalle continued to grow

On July 1, 1985 the workhouse and office moved to the Dries 69b in Nieuwerkerken (Aalst), with a built-up area of +/- 2500 m². The company then offered work to 5 employees and became more and more automated. The workforce grew rapidly and on 8 January 1988 the PLC was transformed into a bvba. 1991 was the year that the first CNC-controlled milling machine was purchased.

Vergalle Interieurs

As a result of the increasing customer and staff base, the adjacent company building was purchased. This brought the total area to 3300 m².

How it is now

July 2006 marked the umpteenth enlargement in a row for Vergalle. The adjacent territory was built on 2000 m² and includes our new offices and an extension of the workshop. The machinery underwent further automation. We continue to innovate to this day.

Vergalle Interieurs has been in operation since January 2008 and André Vergalle's torch has been transferred to his daughter Sofie Vergalle and son-in-law Gino Colpaert. In 2019, the family entered into a partnership with Kurt Mortier to strengthen the management team.
