De Bruyn ceases 'industrial activities'

摘要

After 107 years in the mineral business, 2006 could mark the final chapter in the activities of Belgian chromite and wollastonite processor and trader Ertsenmaalderij De Bruyn NV. Gerald de Bruyn, managing director, told IM: "We have sold our property at the port of Antwerp, dismantled and stored our dryer, and moved the office to my home. We have already waited two years (to resume the chromite business), and if nothing materialises by the end of the year, or earlier, that will be it."
