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

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.
