Technical and Industrial Textiles

Specialist Demands. Specialist Solutions.

Much in the industrial world has changed since Hainsworth began manufacturing textiles, but one thing that hasn’t is our ability to meet the technical needs of the most demanding customers. As a result, Hainsworth has built up a body of knowledge, as well as an excellent reputation and customer base, in wool manufacturing and its industrial application. This expertise has been extended to include synthetic fibres for use in protective fabricsand laundry products.

Through innovation, market knowledge and proven expertise, customers have chosen Hainsworth time and again to develop customised products for their specific requirements.

Meeting specialist textile demands requires a high level of experience and expertise in the manufacture of textiles. Hainsworth uses its skills and experience, combined with an inherent understanding of how our products are used, to manufacture a unique range of woven woollen and synthetic cloths.

United Biscuits, one of the world’s leading branded snack businesses, use woollen cloth from Hainsworth on its conveyors as part of the biscuit manufacturing process; our nylon wrapping tape is used in the production of huge rubber hoses that transport oil safely from drilling platforms in the North Sea to the shore. These and other specialist textiles designed and manufactured by Hainsworth are dyed, heat-set, raised, chemically treated, coated or converted for a range of uses in printing, cleaning, laundry, polishing, food production and other technical, industrial and manufacturing processes.

The protective quality of our technical fabrics ensures critical protection where it’s needed most - on the front line. We supply protective cloth to fire services across the world including those in London, Madrid, Copenhagen and Boston. Hainsworth has supplied textiles that not only exceed customer expectations but have also delivered step-change textile technology.

Quality control processes and manufacturing tolerances ensure Hainsworth continues to be the supplier of choice to leading piano and woodwind instrument manufacturers, including Renner and Steinway. The experience of our staff and their unrivalled understanding of how textiles perform mean customers are expertly guided and advised on the best textile solution. Our manufacturing skills ensure consistent adherence to the strictest specifications. Hainsworth can weave fabrics to widths ranging from 5mm to 4.20m and finish fabric up to a thickness of 8mm, to tolerance of +/- 0.05mm.

As the home of textiles, there is no better place to get advice on, and products for, commercial laundering. Hainsworth is the leading supplier of press, industrial ironer and cabinet clothing for the laundry and garment manufacturing industries worldwide, supplying luxury hotels, hospitals, commercial laundries, dry-cleaners, prisons and nursing homes.

Our textiles appear in places you would never expect; from the smoothest action of a piano key, the crispest finish of linen sheets, the cleaning of trains to the provision of optimum heat and fire protection for firefighting, police and military personnel.

The specialist knowledge of our staff coupled with the understanding of our customers’ manufacturing processes ensures that with Hainsworth, the possibilities are endless.
