Film producers rely on Hainsworth for a variety of textile needs, including recently in a major Bollywood production where our para-aramid wick was wound around a banister and set on fire to create the effect of a burning staircase.

Our protective cloth provides the right level of comfort and security for fire services across the world from London to Madrid, from Boston to Copenhagen and Qatar.
