Our History
From the banks of the Rivers Bann and Lagan, our history weaves its way through our close-knit community as these rivers run their courses through our small island. Now into our 3rd generation, RA Irwin & Co Ltd is still owned, run and controlled by the Irwin family.
From humble origins making handmade handkerchiefs, the company has often changed its course. Sometimes in response to customer demands, sometimes as markets have dictated, but always with a sense of innovation, purpose and determination.
- We have literally seen fire (1983) and rain (floods in 2008), but we have always looked for opportunity.
- We were the best in the world at making stitchbond nonwovens.
- We tried our hand at warp-knitting and needle-punching.
- We always seek to move onto the next product or technology, before the market does.
The future
- Now its all about the unique skills of digitally printing design on window blind materials.
- Of creating speciality yarns for mattress ticking.
- Of designing virtually every pattern on every piece of fabric that passes through our factory.
We have a clear sense of where we want to go as a company.
We hope you will continue with us!
