History
From Ancient Greece …
Greek myth tells the tragic tale of proud Niobe, the Queen of Thebes, who suffered the wrath of the gods when she boasted the beauty of her six sons and six daughters to the jealous Titaness Leto. Queen Niobe lost her children and was transformed into a weeping rock, perched high on Mount Sipylus in the heart of Anatolia.
Since that fateful day, Niobe’s tears have streamed down the snow-capped mountain as waterfalls and rivers and transformed the valley below. The face of the grieving mother, famously carved from the mountaintop, can still be seen today.
… to a forward-looking company in Belgium, today!
NYOBE NV’s success story began in Kruishoutem in 1976 under the name BEAULIEU NYLON NV. Ever since, the story of Niobe has lived on in our company, which transforms a snow-white fountainhead into virgin polymer tears, and then spins these teardrops into white PA6 BCF yarns that will animate untold applications in downstream businesses worldwide.
Working as one, threading together a common vision on quality and innovation, let’s weave the magic of metamorphosis.

The Mission of NYOBE
To produce & market nylon 6 polymer & nylon 6 BCF Yarn in a consistent,

Our history
Jérome Lietaer started in the flax and linen business in 1924, when the industry flourished in Flanders. In 1948, his son André joined the family business.As of 1963, André shifted the focus from flax linen to yarns and established Symaco in 1972, the foundation of our textile group. Driven by his passion for textiles and for pigeons, André explored the world to find the best raw material for the European textile industry.In 1979, the second generation, headed by André’s son Alain, expanded the textile activities with production facilities in Belgium by founding the Avelgemse Spinnerij (AVS).In 1991, AVS moved from Avelgem to a greenfield site in Spiere-Helkijn and was baptized AVS Spinning. The spinning facilities included a revolutionary open-end coloured yarn production technique and raw white synthetic yarn production lines. In 1997, the spinning mill was further expanded with the launch of Sigma Spinning, an open-end cotton spinning mill.Further external growth and synergies were realized in 2008 through a joint-venture with the UCO Yarns division from the Vlerick Group, which was in 2012 fully integrated within European Spinning Group. In order to expand the yarn service activities further, the group acquired Demtex, a beaming facility in Kruishoutem, in 2012.Currently, the third generation is active in the textile group, ready to continue the story of the family business with a passion for textiles and entrepreneurship all around the world. All activities are being rebranded under the commercial name ‘European Spinning Group’, in order to outline the strong foundations as a diversified European yarn production group.
