In 1974 werd General Computers opgericht als een ontwikkelingsbureau van software voor diverse computerleveranciers.
In de volgende jaren werden voor allerlei toepassingen programma’s ontwikkeld.
Begin jaren tachtig gingen softwarebureau’s zich steeds meer specialiseren in een verticale markt. Zo ontstond er behoefte aan systemen die qua hardware en software op elkaar afgestemd waren, zodat een leverancier een “totaaloplossing” kon aanbieden, compleet met diensten zoals opleiding, begeleiding, helpdesk en support.
Ongeveer 30 jaar geleden bleek, na inventarisatie, dat een groot gedeelte van onze klanten uit de kleding-, sport- en schoenenbranche kwam.
Uit de ontwikkelde programmatuur ontstonden gaandeweg modulaire pakketten voor deze modische branches met o.a. specifieke kenmerken als kleuren, maten en seizoenen.
Gencom heeft in Paal-Beringen (België) en in Nieuw-Vennep (Nederland) zijn eigen vestigingen waar ruim 40 medewerkers worden tewerkgesteld. Hieronder een 15-tal analisten en programmeurs die voor het onderhoud en de ontwikkeling van de diverse pakketten zorgen.
De Service-afdeling met een 15-tal specialisten staat enerzijds in voor de installatie en het onderhoud van de hard –en software en anderzijds verzorgen zij de opleidingen en de begeleidingen op locatie, alsook een permanente helpdesk van 10 personen.
Dankzij onze goede producten en uitstekende service, kan Gencom op heel wat trouwe klanten rekenen. Klanten die reeds hun vierde generatie systeem van Gencom in huis hebben.
Eén van de unieke aspecten waarin Gencom zich onderscheidt, is dat er voor de gehele bedrijfskolom een ERP- oplossing verkrijgbaar is :
- Detailhandel / Retail : FASH in, SHOE in en SPORT in
- Groothandel / Groothandel met winkels : FASH plus, SHOE plus en SPORT plus
- Agenturen bedrijven : FASH agent, SHOE agent en SPORT agent
- Productiebedrijven : FASH maker en SHOE maker
- Productie Management : Production Management System voor productiesturing met rendabiliteits –en capaciteitsopvolging.
- Financiële administratie : Finadwin
Deze pakketten kunnen naadloos tot 1 ERP pakket aan elkaar gekoppeld worden. Alles is gecentraliseerd in 1 Oracle database en maakt gebruikt van 1 interface.
Enkele specifieke kenmerken die onze oplossingen bieden:
- Zeer krachtige en gebruiksvriendelijke rapporten –en lijstgenerator
- Uitgebreide Business Intelligence tool
- Doorheen de gehele oplossing verduidelijken foto’s het geheel
- Multitaal (Nederlands, Frans, Engels, Duits en Portugees)
- Integratie met CAD-pakketten
- Verregaande integraties met internet en E-mail, alsook met Adobe PDF en met MS Office toepassingen zoals Word en Excel
Gencom is met andere woorden de ICT-specialist voor de modebranche. Maar we zouden dat niet zijn zonder onze trouwe klanten. Niet alleen in het verleden, maar ook vandaag de dag luisteren wij naar wat onze klanten te vertellen hebben en waar zij, op gebied van automatisering, behoefte aan hebben.
Alleen samen met hen en met u, kunnen we ervoor zorgen dat u kan doen waar u goed in bent en dat wij, als uw IT-partner toekomstgerichte oplossingen blijven ontwikkelen voor vandaag en morgen.
Met ruim 400 klanten heeft Gencom de afgelopen 40 jaar bewezen een betrouwbare partner te zijn, waar continuïteit en flexibiliteit op de eerste plaats staan.
Het moge duidelijk zijn dat onze filosofie en strategie voor U, als mogelijke toekomstige klant, betekent dat U de beschikking krijgt over een informatiesysteem dat een onmisbaar hulpmiddel gaat worden voor uw bedrijfsvoering.

Guy’s Naaicentrum
Guy’s NaaicentrumMore Info
About us
Guy’s Naaicentrum was founded in April 1982. The story begins decades earlier, in the 1930s. Désiré Van der Vorst, the maternal grandfather of founder Guy, started trading in the Waasland markets with merchandise such as buttons, sewing thread, zippers, etc, to sell. Later he also starts a shop in the Slangstraat in Hamme.
Two of his three daughters, Annie (Guy’s mother) & Irène, later join the company with their respective husbands. Irène and Etienne successfully ran the shop in Hamme until 1997. Between the 1960s and 2005 Annie, Jozef and son Guy sold an extremely extensive range of high-quality sewing materials on the markets in Waasland and Dendermonde.
In 1982 Guy starts in the sewing machines. With a technical background as a background, he starts training with the most renowned sewing machine manufacturers of the time: Husqvarna in Huskvarna, Sweden on the one hand, and Pfaff in Kaiserslautern, Germany on the other. He learns all the basic elements to repair and adjust a machine. During the same period, he meets Chris, his future wife. Soon Chris, meanwhile his wife, begins to learn many tricks of the sewing trade from Guy.
During that period, Guy’s Sewing Center was located at 2 Plezantstraat in the center of Hamme. With the extensive range they already had at the time, they quickly proved to be an established value in the Waasland and beyond. Guy’s Sewing Center is bursting at the seams for the first time and a brand new store is opened in 1987 in the Roodkruisstraat. In the meantime, in addition to all possible sewing materials, from embroidery and overlock threads to an unprecedented range of zippers to scissors, various brands of machines have also been added to the range: the Japanese top manufacturers Babylock and Janome (then marketed in Belgium under the brand name Lewenstein). ) join the range. In the mid-1990s, the store was expanded for the first time with an underground warehouse, extra large showroom annex classroom and computers for software lessons. A few years later, the quality brand Bernina is also added to the range.
At the end of 2004, the range was expanded to such an extent that a new expansion was necessary. The new building with adjoining shop is being built in record time. In less than 12 months, Guy’s Sewing Center has doubled in size. Quilting fabrics, gems from Gütermann & Swarovski and an even more extensive range of handicraft items, such as knitting yarns from quality brands Lana Grossa, Rowan and Schachenmayr, further complete the range. With the sewing machines, the Japanese brand Juki completes the unparalleled selection of overlock machines and the quality brand Bernina is also included in the range.
From the autumn of 2012, his son Joris also joined the family business as the 4th generation in the sewing sector. He gradually learns the trade from both his father Guy and mother Chris as well as from the countless courses he regularly follows: he follows the lessons of Pfaff & Husqvarna VIKING, Bernina’s 3-4-5-7 series and the countless Janome- models, but also of all brands of overlock machines. Embroidery software and the multi-needle Janome MB-4/MB-7 series also hold no secrets for him.
In 2017, the decision was taken to tear down the adjacent building on the other side and build a completely new store: spacious, modern and light are the keywords here. Demolition will start in July 2017. After a tour de force, Guy’s Sewing Center 2.0 will open its doors in August 2018. An extra spacious showroom, much more light and space in all areas, efficient quality lamps to give the most true-to-colour image of the products,… Everything has been thought of. There is also a spacious classroom for the private lessons of the machines and workshops. The new store has a low carbon footprint in relation to its size:
large solar panel installation,
exceptionally economical LED lamps,
warehouse lighting sensors,
efficient and powerful ventilation,
heat pumps for heating and cooling,
using rainwater for the toilet.
The range of knitting wool and fabrics will be further expanded at that time. Lana Grossa even distinguishes Guy’s Sewing Center as a Lana Grossa Superstore.
Our permanent team of people now consists of Guy, Chris, Joris, Hilde, Anita, Liesbeth & Lore. Fixed points of contact to offer you the best possible service, each with its own specialty.
Far and wide, in East Flanders, Antwerp and Flemish Brabant, we are known for our customer-friendly service, clear explanations without buzzing marketing terms, large stock, unparalleled range. Guy’s Sewing Center is therefore the one-stop-shop for everything that has to do with sewing, needlework, knitting, ….
You read it. Passion and knowledge for and of our profession, it has been in our blood for generations. Since the 1930s, we have distinguished ourselves with the choice for

Clothes are inevitable. They are nothing less than the furniture of the mind made visible.
Garderobe+ is a fashion agency in Antwerp and is run by Peggy-Marie Bracke. Our offer consists of small labels, some of which are Belgian and many of them eco-friendly. What they all have in common is the fact that they are made with love and an eye for craftsmanship. Each label tells its own story and seemingly coincidentally fits in with the others. A symbiosis naturally arises between the different collections, based on their individuality, purity and passion.
Ever since I was a kid I used to look at the world wide-eyed and soak up everything like a sponge. That hasn’t changed. Whether drawing, photography, furniture design, architecture, music or fashion: they all touch my senses. Because you have to live with your heart.
I have been in sales for fifteen years, of which twelve years with the same company. I started as a saleswoman and worked my way up to manager. After meeting a designer in 2006, I decided to quit this job and become self-employed.
Wardrobe+ was born. But I wanted a different approach than the other agencies. One that is not purely based on short-term cooperation, but on a sustainable, honest relationship of trust. Not a one-night stand, but a solid relationship.
When I was still buying collections myself, I was always amazed at how little the representatives thought about. In many cases it was only about writing large orders. So I don’t work with minimum orders. After all, as a retailer you know your budget like no other. Moreover, you only sell the products that you support yourself. In this way we create a win-win situation together. That’s how I want to work in this industry and that’s how I want to get the best out of it for you, for myself and for my designers.

How it all began.
Our brands all grew in response to a very personal question: why was it impossible to find beautiful, stylish, and affordable fashion that also cared for people and the environment? Back in 2011, we decided to create an ethical alternative ourselves and took on a pioneering role in Belgian fashion. It was up to us to prove that things could be done differently and that well-considered choices in design, production, transport, and packaging could truly make a difference.
First, there was Froy&Dind.
From the very beginning, our first sustainable clothing brand brought a breath of fresh air to the Belgian clothing world with cheerful prints, comfortable fabrics, and sustainable production. Since 2011, we consciously chose to open our own design studio in Antwerp, where we drew inspiration from everything that makes life beautiful and meaningful for us: our children, little moments of joy, a colorful collection of gadgets, and friends with whom we share joys and sorrows.
And so, Munoman was born.
After many successful collections for women and children, we were ready to grow further. Because we were increasingly asked by the men around us: what about us? And they were right! And so, in 2016, Munoman was born. A contemporary men’s brand with sweaters, shirts, and knitwear that stays true to our core principles: honest, high-quality, ecological, and Belgian. And for Munoman, we add a touch of humor. Every season, we enjoy illustrating the coolest prints when designing the new Munoman.
WOMED award.
In 2017, Greenqueens founder Adinda De Raedt received the prestigious WOMED award from Queen Mathilde. A wonderful recognition as female entrepreneur of the year!
Onnolulu as a children’s brand.
In 2018, we launched our first school bags and backpacks made from 100% recycled PET bottles under the new brand name Onnolulu. Every year, we choose cool prints that are sure to delight our own children. In the following years, Onnolulu slowly grew into a fully-fledged children’s brand for cheerful kids. By 2021, we will be bundling all our baby and children’s clothing under the Onnolulu brand name, and we will retain Froy&Dind as the exclusive brand for our strong women’s collection.
Green Zoo, bamboo underwear.
We had gained so much experience in creating and producing fair, ecological, and high-quality fashion that in 2019, we confidently launched another brand based on the same philosophy: Green Zoo. Because yes, it’s possible to make sustainable, ethical choices when it comes to your underwear, too. We consciously opted for a timeless, simple collection of the softest underwear made from bamboo fibers. And you have to try it to believe it, but truly: “Once you go bamboo, you never go back!” 😉
Aikoo, our youngest member.
In 2020, we proudly introduce the youngest member of the Greenqueens family: Aikoo. For the next few years, we’ll be bundling all our school bags, pencil cases, travel bags, and backpacks for kids under Aikoo. The cheerful prints don’t reveal that they’re made from 100% recycled materials, but of course, they are!
On to a bright, sustainable future.
And our story is far from over. Our small, family-friendly team is fully prepared for a bright, sustainable future. During our pleasant lunch breaks, we sometimes imagine what the world could look like if our company philosophy were truly allowed to become the norm. Because a world where we all take a little more care of each other and the environment—don’t we all dream of that?
