More than 130 years clothing the workforce in virtually any industry around the world

Carrington Textiles is a global workwear fabric manufacturer producing over 130 million metres of fabric annually as a group from our production facilities in the UK, mainland Europe and Asia, from where we export to more than 80 countries worldwide.

We specialise in the manufacture of workwear, flame retardant, waterproof, defence and sustainable fabrics for virtually any industry and sector, with end users including McDonalds, BUPA, TATA Steel, Shell, Coca Cola, Airbus, Jaguar Land Rover, BP and Arcelor Mittal, to name a few.

Our History

Established in Lancashire, the birthplace of British textiles, and with over 130 years in the industry, the story of the company dates back to the 19th century when Benjamin Davies and brother in law James Eckersley started operations of the Pincroft Dyeing and Printing company for the bleaching and finishing of fabrics in 1891.

A century later in 1998, after joining forces with Carrington Textiles, both companies saw a considerable turnover increase from €50 million in 1999 to €104 million in 2019, as well as growing the export business extensively to reach new geographical markets including Europe, Middle East, Asia and Africa.
