Published 23rd September 2026

Absolutely! Redwood are so much more than just technical fabric suppliers.

We’re proud of our reputation as one of the most innovative, experienced and trusted suppliers of specialist technical fabrics in the UK. We work hard to ensure our customers get exactly the fabric they need to deliver professional performance every time. 

However, this is just part of Redwood’s industry leading services, providing end-to-end solutions from raw materials to finished products and supply chain management.

Let’s take a closer look at what makes Redwood one of the country’s most trusted technical fabric suppliers, and how we can help to improve your designs, your production and your finished products.

What are technical fabrics?

Technical fabrics are materials that have special properties designed for specific purposes. These include:

These properties can be:

  • a natural feature of the fabric, such as inherent flame resistance

  • woven into the structure, such as tightly packed fibres for waterproofing

  • added as a coating, such as the PU coated fabrics we supply to the aerospace, automotive and military sectors

As our name suggests, Redwood TTM (Technical Textile Manufactures) manufacture many of our first-class fabrics ourselves. What’s more, we have a network of technical fabric supply partners worldwide that we can use to source your exact requirements.

What Else Does Redwood Do?

Redwood began life in the early 1990s as technical textile suppliers, but our range of services has expanded significantly since then. Today, Redwood can help you at every stage of the manufacturing process, from your first idea to full-scale production and beyond.
