Eddie Kerr, a partner at accountancy firm PKF in Charles Street, was appointed liquidator by the owner of Punjab Textiles, Yunis Malik, on Tuesday.
Mr Kerr said: "It was down to terrible trading conditions and a number of competitors setting up nearby.
"Trade dropped significantly to the point where the director had to take steps to put the company into liquidation.
"Our objective now is to release as much of the company's assets as possible through stock and so on to see how much money we can get back."
