ASCO redirects to [Achats Services Commerces](/organizations/achats-services-commerces/).

For the aerospace company, see [ASCO Industries NV](/organizations/asco-industries-nv/).

Both entities featured in the [X-Dossier](/events/x-dossier/) investigation into the [Marc Dutroux](/people/marc-dutroux/) network. Achats Services Commerces was the secondhand car business of [Jean-Michel Nihoul](/people/jean-michel-nihoul/); the writer S. Dovey wrote that it provided white Mercedes vehicles used in child abductions. ASCO Industries NV was an aerospace factory owned by [Roger Boas](/people/roger-boas/), where, Dovey wrote, the witness X1 described the production of snuff films.[^1]
