About Us
Like the fabric we create, the fabric of our company is made up of two vital elements.
On the one hand, there’s our history. Production started in 1783 and across eight generations of the Hainsworth family, weaving continues today in our Yorkshire mill. All this history behind us means we’re uniquely placed to introduce British-made fabrics of exceptional quality to a new generation.
On the other hand, there’s our passionate belief in the future of the UK textiles industry. Innovation is a tradition at AW Hainsworth. We constantly look ahead, applying our technical expertise in collaboration with our customers, to develop the most technically advanced solutions. This includes looking to the generations that follow. Hence our commitment to sustainability – not only in our products and processes, but also in the way we work with people and the community.
A rich heritage. A constant drive for innovation.
Our warp and our weft. Together they are the
strength of Hainsworth fabrics.
Our history is family history
From the time Abimelech William Hainsworth started manufacturing woollen cloth in Yorkshire in 1783, investing in our people and developing strong partnerships with customers and suppliers have been central to our success.
When you buy Hainsworth fabrics, you are far more than just a customer. You become part of the Hainsworth family, and when it comes to service and delivery, nothing is too much
trouble. Our global reputation is built on strong foundations of trust, integrity and reliability.
Quality without compromise
Our dedicated workforce monitor and improve product quality at each stage of the manufacturing process. As well as departmental monitoring, we also have a series of inspection points throughout the manufacturing process so we can identify and rectify any faults.

The accreditations we hold are a sign of our ongoing commitment to quality, excellence and innovation.
