Based in Lancashire, where the roots of British textiles began, the company is the largest producer of workwear fabrics in the UK. And is now Europe’s leading supplier of flame retardant finished fabrics exporting to 70 countries worldwide.
We specialise in the development of fabrics and finishes that can provide exceptional levels of performance in the most demanding workplace environments. Working closely with Europe’s leading garment manufacturers and rental laundries puts us in a unique position to monitor trends and demand.
Operational and environmental excellence is the driving force of our business and is supported by a continuous programme of investment in modern, environmentally sound production technologies of our manufacturing company Pincroft Dyeing & Printing Co. Ltd
Investment in technology and production goes hand in hand with ecology and sustainability. We have dramatically reduced the environmental impact of our fabric preparation, dyeing and printing and finishing processes.

We have a long established international reputation for innovation and continue to introduce exciting new breakthroughs in workwear and technical fabrics. Our workwear range meets the stringent performance requirements encountered in such diverse areas as heavy industry, light engineering, food processing, retail, distribution, pharmaceutical, healthcare and defence. Our quality assurance systems cover every stage of fabric production and our methods and processes are certified to internationally recognised standards such as ISO and ETSA.

Fit for Purpose
In the UK, in Europe
and in the wider world,
millions of people
perform their tasks
comfortably and safely
in workwear made from
Carrington fabrics.
Which means they
work happily and more
efficiently. This is a prime
concern – but it has to
be balanced against
practical considerations.
Workwear also has to
be supremely fit for
purpose and offer value
in commercial terms.
We are consulted on workwear in many diverse sectors. These include
Healthcare, Heavy industry, Light engineering, Food Processing, Retail,
Distribution, Defence, Hospitality, Travel, Utilities, Public Sector and
Emergency Services.
We respond with advice that comes from long experience, plus a
wide range of fabrics to meet specialised workwear needs. Using
in-house CAD our designers work with garment manufacturers,
distributors, brands and end-users to create bespoke designs that
incorporate logos or other graphics – to reinforce a professional
corporate image.
Workwear fabrics worn by personnel working for brand giants such
as McDonalds, UPS, BUPA, TATA Steel, Shell, Coca Cola, Airbus,
Jaguar Land Rover, BP and Arcelor Mittal.
It has to meet every performance requirement, with optimum
functionality and durability throughout a long life. And, it must
retain its wearability, smartness and other qualities after repeated
wash and wear cycles. So we work closely with laundries and other
organisations to ensure our workwear fabric ranges meet the
demands of ETSA performance.
Another important factor is the way an organisation’s workforce is
presented. Workwear plays an important role in its corporate image -
and the way it is perceived by its customers and the world at large.
