VUURVAST has been active since 1980 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €4.22M and a net result of €240k. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 65% of 404 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.3% (very low).

We have established no sitting directors for this company. We derive directors from published Gazette acts; while there are none, or none read, nothing appears here. That does not mean the company has none: the CBE keeps its own list of function holders, which we do not read.
