About Slots
SLOTS PURETextiles stands for a Belgian and an extremely durable top quality.
SLOTS PURETextiles has since its establishment in 1990 grown into a flexible and modern production facility in hotel linen. Combining comfort and design in both shape and color we pamper customers far beyond our borders.
This is the reason ‘Pure’ refers to a quality collection with natural appearance, ease of maintenance, and special attention for sustainability. Thus, 40% of our electricity is being generated by the solar panels on our roof, the use of LED lamps was optimised and we work only with partners with a OEKO-TEX certificate.
The Flocart touch of perfection always shines through in its textiles and fabrics. Add to this a true commitment to serve the customer with high responsiveness and speed of delivery, and a flexibility to exceed the customer requirements, and you have a good idea of the Flocart DNA.

PHILOSOPHY
We strive for full client satisfaction on every level by furnishing them with fabrics and textile products that will make a clear difference through:
DESIGN
As far as design is concerned, our creative department spots and picks up trends in their earliest stages, long before they become mainstream.
LUXURY
Furthermore we do not compromise on quality. Our products are generally qualified as extremely durable and luxurious, thanks to the exquisite yarns, craftsmanship, knowhow and meticulous production techniques.
CUSTOMIZATION
Size and nature of your design, weaving and/or printing and a large choice of finishings, personalization, the colors of your choice, the required stain release or fire retardant coating… as far as customization is concerned everything can be done to meet your needs and wishes.
ORIGIN
We are proud of our Belgian/Flemish origin and of our Belgian and French workforce. Everything we sell is made in our own mills, with raw materials we source from central European countries. What better proof of quality can you possibly require?
HISTORY
The roots of the Fibertex company go back as far as the nineteen-twenties when Emile Legon started his flax and cotton bleaching and dyeing business in Kortrijk. In the mid-seventies the actual Fibertex company was founded, now combining both weaving and finishing activities.
Continuous growth and subsequent investments led to the need for larger production facilities. The actual plant and headquarters on the grounds of the Kortrijk/Wevelgem airport date from 1992 and present the state-of-the-art in weaving, printing and finishing of textile niche products such as upholstery, curtains and textile wall coverings.
The common thread through the entire company history: the Legon family. Today’s ownership and management of the Fibertex company is in the hands of already the 4th Legon generation. This family approach stands for a daily and far-reaching involvement of the management, for real customer intimacy and for short communication lines.
Since our founding in 1959, we have continuously built on our future.
True to our roots as a family business, our employees, innovation and sustainability are at the heart of our activities.
Our purpose
Shaping sustainable living, together
People’s living choices heavily impact the world around us and we want to make sure they have enough sustainable options to choose from. Even more, we want to make the sustainable choice the easy choice. This purpose will help us to maintain focus going forward and will be the glue to unify our international teams.
Our mission
Enhancing how every generation lives and works
As a global family business, Beaulieu International Group develops and co-creates – in an innovative, entrepreneurial and sustainable way – flooring and material solutions to enhance the quality of living and working for every generation.
Our history
To trace B.I.G.’s origins, we have to go to back 1959, when we diversified our business from flax cultivation into textiles.
The company has experienced solid expansion in the last decade, driven by autonomous growth and a number of strategic acquisitions.
More than 60 years later, we are a seasoned, privately-owned industrial group and a global top 5 player in flooring and material solutions.
Today, B.I.G. is headquartered in Belgium and employs over 4.900 people worldwide. We have production sites in 17 countries across Eurasia, America and Oceania and serve customers in 140 countries.
The beginning
1959
Roger De Clerck founded Ter Lembeek in Wielsbeke.
The company manufactures upholstery fabrics,
in the beginning often produced by home weavers.
Every day, we strive to create a profitable business model without losing our authentic style. Our focus is always on helping customers with a personal touch. Therefore, our ultimate goal is not to be the biggest in the market, but to be the best at what we do.
What we do…
Polypropylene carpets
With 8 different lines of carpets, we can offer a large collection of polypropylene carpets, without losing the local family values that characterize our company. In fact, the most important activities relating to the production of our carpets and rugs take place within our company. Not only the design, but also the weaving, the finishing and the packaging are all done in our production department in Belgium.
Quality and Professionalism
Having our own design office, we can guarantee that our product lines are renewed and adapted to the latest trends every year. The creative employees within this department provide us with beautiful new designs time and time again. They not only take into account classic, but also modern interiors. The production departments are also characterized by professionalism. Carpets and rugs are produced to order. They can be provided with a personalized label and display on the packaging if required. Our products comply with the latest REACH and other regulations.
Our values
Vanhoutte Carpets puts several important values first. Of course, our focus is always the relation with our clients and our employees. Nowadays, however, we also focus on innovation and the environment.
Firstly, we attach great value to our customer-oriented focus. We are always looking for long-term relationships, encouraging contact between our management and our regular customers. Good communication is essential to us, even to the point that we use customer feedback when creating our collections. In doing so, we never lose sight of our own specific knowledge of course. To enhance this communication, we are currently working on a digital catalogue in which customers will be able to easily navigate through our extensive collection.
Secondly, our employees need to be treated correctly. To meet this requirement, we follow the ETI Base Code. This way, we have managed to assemble a motivated team.
Thirdly, we also focus on innovation. We always use the latest technologies in production. By investing in the newest machines, we can make our staff work as ergonomically as possible. We are also building a new showroom, new offices and a new digital catalogue to serve our customers even better.
Finally, we do not only talk about the environment, but actively contribute to it. For example, we can supply approximately 50% of our own energy by means of our solar panels. In addition, we also apply strict recycling rules.
