Insights on Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork, except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials
Inflow and structure. In 12 months, 53.5 of 100 companies started, against 8.9 in Belgium. No NACE division counts more. Half of the companies are younger than 1.0 years, against 8.1 years in Belgium. 74.4% of the companies are sole traders, against 41.6% in Belgium.
The comparison with Belgium as a whole and with the other divisions is as of 06-11-2026 05:30.
Method and sources
Every company registered today counts under its main activities in the KBO. Establishment units do not count. Staff counts once, under the employer's first main activity, from its latest accounts and only where it fits the staff costs. The count follows the NACE 2025 classification, the version in which code 16120 exists.
The bankruptcies over five years count only companies still registered today, because the activity of a company that left the register is not kept. So they are fewer than the bankruptcies of those years, and the figure is not a probability for the future. Over twelve months the count is nearly complete, because a bankrupt company stays registered while its bankruptcy runs. A company with more than one main activity counts in each of those sectors.
The comparison with Belgium as a whole and with the other NACE divisions rests on an overview of every division, counted again each night. Each division is counted in the version of the NACE classification in which it exists. A standing such as "more than in 80%" compares with the other divisions that have the figure. A division's bankruptcy probability is the median over its companies with a score. Belgium here counts the 1,276,581 companies with a main activity, because only those belong to a division. The other 698,987 registrations publish no activity.
For NACE 16120, 4 annual accounts of financial year 2025 were filed. That is too few for a median, which needs at least 30.
