Living in a Material World – Sourcing Technical Fabrics Worldwide
Published 19th August 2024
Technical fabrics are constantly evolving. New innovations deliver ever higher standards of performance and safety, microbial protection and flame resistance, taking technical fabrics to a whole new level.
Here at Redwood, we are at the forefront of global technical fabrics development. Our expert teams are constantly developing and refining our technical fabrics range, offering new textiles, new coatings and new lamination techniques to meet the ever-changing demands of our clients and of local, national and international standards and regulations. From retail bedding to state of the art medical fabrics, Redwood technical fabrics are at the cutting edge of the industry.
Working with the world’s best
Of course, we know that we’re not alone in this exciting field. Experts, scientists and engineers across the globe are constantly working toward higher standards, improved performance and enhanced safety. That’s why Redwood works with a wide range of textile developers and manufacturers around the world to push the boundaries for our customers, their patients and their staff.
Not only does Redwood export our own technical fabrics across the world, we also import top of the range materials from all corners of the globe. This gives our customers the best possible choice, so that they can get exactly the performance and specification they need, without compromise.
For example, we can deliver flame retardance using inherent yarn, back coating and chemical impregnation. We can also deliver stringent anti-bacterial properties using our Xtreme fabrics range, creating breathable, multi-stretch, polyurethane-coated fabric that meets the demands of all healthcare settings.
We’re experts, so you don’t have to be
The good news is that because Redwood are international experts in technical fabrics, you don’t have to be. Whether you know exactly what you want and are simply looking to source a manufacturer, or you don’t know where to start with technical fabrics and need some expert help and guidance, Redwood are here to help.
We have over twenty years’ experience in creating, sourcing and importing technical fabrics from all around the world, so we know exactly where to find whatever you need. We have regular shipments arriving at our Skelmersdale headquarters from Europe, Asia and beyond. We also have extensive storage facilities holding hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of stock ready for immediate dispatch.
What’s more, if you need something specific or bespoke, which is not part of our standard range, we can source that for you too. We can even create brand new fabrics to meet your exact specifications, with unique product development facilities available, working in partnership with our expert team.
World class products, world beating value
Redwood’s relationships with leading technical fabrics manufacturers across the globe means we can not only source the best fabrics, we can also find you the best value too.
