G Wilson Fibres Ltd

G Wilson Fibres Ltd was founded in 1969 by George Wilson, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire UK. It began in the era of the Rag Trade when after the World War 2, many clothes & rags worn/used by men and women who served in the armed forces were no longer of use, were sorted, recycled and exported abroad by many companies in the UK. In the 1980s, the company invested and expanded into other fibres such as Nylon & Polyester fibres, which became the new trend in clothes such as denim jeans & sportswear but most importantly, flooring. Traditional wool carpets were being overtaken by Nylon hardwearing tiles and Polyester Carpets which were stain resistant and longer lasting. Through this expansion, G Wilson Fibres invested in Carding, Cutting and Pulling machines to process Nylon, Polyester, Polypropylene & other synthetic fibres. By the year 2017, the company has 3 carding lines, 2 pulling lines, 4 cutting lines and 3 press packing lines and employs a workforce of 35+ staff.
