Carrington Defence Fabrics
Carrington is one of Europe’s largest fully integrated textile processing and finishing operations, producing fabrics suitable for end-user applications across all industry sectors. 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. Operating one of the largest heat recovery systems of its type in the world, we utilise advanced effluent treatment technology to recycle chemical residues and minimise water consumption.
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.
This is backed up by total customer support through our Sales offices in England, France, Germany, Asia and Central Europe – plus, agents and distributors across the globe.

A number of different finishes can be added to the fabric
including, Teflon, Splashgard, Flame retardant, Insect repellent
(Permethrin) and easy care crease resistance.
Carrington’s continuous
experience in this field
is one of our greatest
strengths.

we have been supplying
a wide choice of
standard and specialised
fabric options to national
military forces and major
defence companies
around the world.
Currently we have over 100 different camouflage patterns in our
range that can be produced in a variety of different shades and
fabrics.
Or if you are looking for a completely new camouflage design, be it
a multi-terrain print or standard dyed fabric, we can provide you with
a comprehensive design service.
This has been structured to support our customers at every stage
of the development process, from initial concept to bulk delivery –
including full scale samples of the chosen design before going into
production.
This success has been achieved working closely with our sister
company, Pincroft Dyeing and Printing, benefitting from their state
of the art facilities and advanced technologies in dyeing and printing.
Combining this with Carrington’s unrivalled excellence in global sales
and customer service means that our new Defence Range brings
together long standing knowledge and expertise to give an even
stronger Carrington total product range.
