Increasing our military fabric printing capacity

Increasing our military fabric printing capacity

As a global military fabric manufacturer, at Carrington Textiles we are pleased to announce the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment for our main factory in the UK, Pincroft, that is set to increase our camouflage printing capacity to over 8 million metres a year.

The newly acquired equipment features cutting-edge rotary screen-printing technology, including a magnet combined system for uniform application across the width, digital synchronisation for enhanced accuracy, short setup times, automatic repeat settings, design memory, and quicker reproduction of re-orders.

Additionally, it includes a pre-bulk strike-off machine, enabling preparation before the printing production process. This supports the development and verification of paste viscosities, colour concentration and magnet power adjustment.

Pincroft’s new rotary screen printer will allow us to process a complex range of technical textiles, from lightweight fabrics for waterproof applications, to heavy weights for load carriage and equipment handling.

This new investment is Pincroft’s strategic initiative to continue driving its growth in the military fabrics sector and providing customers with top-quality camouflage textile printing.

Mike Collins, Pincroft’s Managing Director, says: “This investment is hugely important for our business. We expect delivery of the machine at the end of the year and aim to be ready for production at the start of 2025.”
