Bankruptcy filing
Vynova Belgium NV has filed for bankruptcy and informed its works council and staff. The competent court is expected to rule on the filing in the coming days.
Background
The company entered a judicial reorganisation procedure on 26 December 2025 and engaged in intensive discussions with several parties on potential recapitalisation or an acquisition of activities and assets, but was unable to reach an agreement.
Market drivers
Vynova cited a challenging economic climate—high and volatile energy prices, persistent weakness in demand and increasing imports from regions with lower production costs—as weighing on the prospects of securing a transaction with a new investor.
Impact on other entities and next steps
LVM Netherlands BV, which operates the Beek site, is applying for suspension of payments. The impact on Vynova Mazingarbe SAS (France) is being assessed and will be addressed in accordance with French legislation and in consultation with local social partners.
