The Belgian branch of the 3 Swiss was declared bankrupt on July 10 by the Commercial Court of Tournai. Its owner, the Lille group of online commerce Domoti, had filed for bankruptcy a few days ago.
According to the Echo, Domoti has decided to file the balance sheet of 3 Swiss Belgium following a start of catastrophic summer sales. Sales had been falling sharply for a long time and the sale period should have revived them. The expected result was not at the rendezvous: sales were 30% lower than the 2017 sales. Domoti therefore decided to stop the fees.
For now, the fate of the industry French, which employs about forty people (compared to a dozen in Belgium) is uncertain. We tried in vain to contact both the Swiss France and Domoti, but to no avail. In any case, the information circulated only partially within the French organization, because the 3suisses.fr after-sales service was not aware of the fate of the Belgian company.
The Belgian webshop remains open for the moment, both in French and Dutch. According to the curator, Master Debetencourt, the activities will be continued for at least four months so that we can still deliver the orders in progress and manage the returns. Meanwhile, he will try to find a buyer.
It will be difficult because the 3 Swiss have been on a slippery slope for many years. The mail order company known for its large paper catalog, missed the shift of e-commerce. It was bought in 2014 by the German group Otto, but it quickly noticed that the bar was much harder to recover than expected. He has since sold 3 Swiss to the northern group Domoti. It has half a dozen specialized webshops, such as Time L (Leisure and kitchen accessories), Comfort and Life (objects for seniors), Cat Dog and Company (pet shop) or spoiler (household linen). 19659002]
