Consolidating the status of market leader in the division Dassen Laurent;2. Becoming the pre-eminent partner for 'Horeca' (Hotels, Restaurants.cleaning companies) thru textile projects developped and (tailor) made in our own atelier.3. Developing the trading division for gadgets/premiums only for a select group of companies managed only by the owner.At the end of 2011, an indepth analysis was made of our business model and beginning 2012 we found a partner who integrated the HoReCa division in its current portfolio.Laurent Belgium therefore returned to its roots being Neckwear and specific solutions in trading for a select group of clients and transferring most of the production to a partner.Laurent Belgium changed it's name to "ACCEMUNDO CORPORATE" in December 2012 Show less
