our manufacturing and specialisms
Our specialties are high-tenacity nylon, polyester, and fabric dyed, printed, coated, and IRR dyed. In addition, we produce a maximum of 8 colour IRR prints in China and Thailand. We have worked with our customers to develop some of the most durable workwear and military fabrics in the world. Over the past ten years, we have also been producing fully made-up police and army vests and pouches in China, Thailand, and Cambodia.
We have airjet texturising along with Rapier weaving and dyeing, with an emphasis on controlling the environment. Our coating capabilities include PU, breathable PU, flame retardant, TPU, and three-layer lamination.
sustainability
Sustainability is a key focus in our manufacturing processes. That’s why we follow global production standards to make sure we lessen our impact on the environment during and after production without compromising the performance of our products. We are now also offering recycled polyester alternatives to many of our standard polyester products to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible.
All our fabrics are supplied with full specifications and tested using BS EN ISO or ASTM as standard. We also offer bespoke testing where requested or required; this can include specialist military testing and flame retardancy testing
