UK based manufacturer of high performance technical textiles TBA Textiles is investing an additional £700,000 in new technology and equipment, supported by a grant of £150,000 from the N Brown Textiles Growth Programme. This new investment which will create 16 new jobs follows a previous investment earlier this year of more than £110,000.

According to UK media reports, TBA Textiles has been operating in the industry since 140 years and supplies its products to over 100 countries across various sectors like construction, marine and transportation.

“The help and support offered by the N Brown Textiles Growth Programme goes a long way to assist in our plans to invest around £700,000 into our manufacturing plant over the next two years,” Mark Lineker, general manager at TBA Textiles said.

“This significant investment, will in turn, secure our position at the forefront of development and manufacture of high performance technical textiles,” he added. (AR)
