ntroduction


Carrington Career & Workwear Ltd is the largest supplier of workwear and technical fabrics in the U.K., and one of the market leaders in Europe.

 
Our speciality lies in designing and developing fabrics with exactly the right style, comfort and performance properties demanded by our customer across a wide spectrum of end uses.

These fabrics are marketed through our own sales team, based in England, France and Germany and through agents in many other countries.

Our parent company, Pincroft Dyeing and Printing Co. Ltd has one of the most modern bleaching, dyeing, printing and finishing facilities in the world and together we are uniquely placed to meet the needs of the international career and workwear industry.

Manufacturing

With over a century of tradition in the dyeing and finishing of textiles, Pincroft Dyeing & Printing Co. Ltd has, for the last 25 years specialised in the production of workwear fabrics and is acknowledged as leader in this field.

The technical skills developed over this period have been reinforced by the investment of over 20 millions euro’s in state of the art machinery in recent years.
 

Part of this investment has included the installation of the largest heat recovery system of its type in the world. This system will dramatically reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere as, it allows Pincroft to recover energy from waste water used during processing and from the hot exhaust air of the drying and finishing equipment.


 

The Kyoto agreement, which the UK has ratified, calls on industry to reduce its energy consumption by 10% over the next 10 years. The heat recovery system supplied by Koenig of Switzerland will reduce the energy consumption required to heat water by over a third, and will enable Pincroft to meet the overall reduction target of 10% in its energy usage.

Quality assurance is maintained through BS EN ISO 9001:2000 accreditation. In addition all products produced for Carrington meet the Oeko-Tex 100 Standards for the absence of harmful substances.

Pincroft’s manufacturing capabilities, together with our market knowledge and expertise have enabled Carrington to become the second largest – and fastest growing – career and workwear fabric supplier in Europe.
