Description

In 1853, Jules de Hemptinne founded a Manchester-style spinning mill which was extended later on with a weaving mill. From the 1960s onward, numerous labour migrants from Turkey and North Africa found employment in Ghent’s textile industry. In 1965, Faruk and Mehmet were the very first Turkish workers at UCO de Hemptinne. The factory continued in operation as part of the UCO group until 1983.
