Edward Clay & Son Ltd: A Legacy of Fibre Innovation Since 1870

Since our founding in 1870, fibres have been the cornerstone of Edward Clay & Son Ltd. Over the decades, we’ve witnessed and embraced significant changes in the industry, yet our commitment to quality and innovation has remained steadfast. Today, we offer a broad selection of recycled, manmade, and natural fibres, each crafted to meet specific needs across various sectors.
Wool Fibre: Naturally Exceptional
Wool is one of nature’s most remarkable fibres, boasting inherent fire retardant, insulation, and moisture-absorbing properties. These qualities make wool an ideal choice for furniture, mattresses, and insulative packaging products. Unlike synthetic alternatives, wool offers safety and comfort without the need for chemical treatments, aligning with the highest industry standards for fire safety.
Biodegradable Fibres: The Eco-Friendly Choice
In an era where sustainability is paramount, biodegradable fibres offer an environmentally responsible solution. These fibres are perfect for eco-friendly packaging and other sustainable products, allowing businesses to reduce their environmental impact without compromising on quality.
Fire Retardant Fibres: Safety Without Compromise
At Edward Clay & Son Ltd, we prioritise safety and sustainability. Our commitment to using wool as a natural fire retardant means that our felts and waddings meet stringent industry standards without the use of harmful chemicals. This not only ensures the safety of the end product but also supports a cleaner, greener production process.
Recycled Fibres: Enhancing ECO Credentials
Recycling is at the heart of our fibre selection. We transform a wide range of textiles into high-quality products, from mattress waddings to horticultural insulative waddings. By choosing recycled fibres, companies can significantly enhance their ECO and sustainable credentials, contributing to a circular economy.
Natural Fibres: Sustainable Alternatives
Natural fibres like hemp, cotton, jute, and wool provide sustainable alternatives to manmade products. These fibres can replace synthetic options in a diverse range of applications, helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint and promote a more sustainable future.
At Edward Clay & Son Ltd, our legacy of innovation in fibres continues to drive us forward, as we adapt and evolve to meet the needs of our customers and the environment.
