About Us

A specialist textile company, AW Hainsworth has been an unrivalled market leader for over 230 years. Our ceremonial cloth has been at the heart of national pride, the world over; our protective fabrics safeguard emergency services in the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America; our interior fabrics furnish Royal palaces and homes throughout Europe and the Middle East; our snooker and pool cloth is undeniably the best in the world; and our award-winning innovation centre is an internationally recognised authority in the design and development of woven textiles.
Hainsworth fabric has clothed royalty and the military for full-dress ceremonial occasions and has embellished and enriched the furnishings of palaces across the world.
Hainsworth also delivered the first inherently heat and flame-retardant fabrics in the UK and now protect emergency services and military personnel around the world from the damaging effects of fire. Hainsworth even enables musicians, designers, tailors and world championship snooker players to reach the pinnacle of their professions.
Today, we integrate the traditional qualities of craftsmanship with cutting edge innovation and product development to meet the needs of a growing and diverse global customer base. Our patented products, The Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation and the granting of our Royal Warrant, to supply HM The Queen, demonstrate our ability to deliver fabric to the highest possible standards. The ever changing needs of our apparel, technical, and interior fabric customers drive our commitment to maintaining the Hainsworth name as the benchmark in all textile manufacture.
