One of the most famous carpet factory complexes, that of Fokker, was located in the center on the Veerstraat near the Groest. The factory remained in operation for a long time and was demolished together with the factory house in 1987, shortly after a fire was started. This house was one of the most important in rich neoclassical detailing.
