Our pressed wool felt (other names include technical felt, industrial felt, pressed felt, wool felt) is manufactured using traditional methods of pressing, fulling, shrinking and drying and is globally sourced from a number of key partners in both Europe and Asia, who are assessed by us as being competent to manufacture to both British and International standards recognised for felt manufacturing.
Our foam, rubber and adhesive tapes are all sourced from UK & European partners, with whom we have developed very close working relationships.
We operate a quality system approved and professionally audited to ISO 9001:2015.
However we run quality systems higher and more involved than this approval demands due to our involvement within the Automotive and Aerospace sectors.
We are comfortable and familiar with product release using the following methods:
- ISIR
- PPAP
- FAIR
- IMDS
- FMEA
Our conversion facilities are extensive and we have an ongoing schedule of capital re-investment in our business to ensure that we can operate to the very latest tolerances and stringent quality requirements that our customers demand of us. We support both consumers and converters with our raw materials and products, and are considered to be key in the supply chain of many multi-national and household named companies in the UK and Europe.
Partners
We carefully select and monitor all of our key suppliers and are kept well informed of changes in manufacturing technology and any alterations in policy to the use and potential restriction of certain substances. Our raw material partners are key to our ongoing support of our market place, and their knowledge and expertise is readily available to provide solutions in all sectors.
