Location: West Yorkshire
An established and highly regarded UK manufacturing business is offered for sale due to the planned retirement of the two Co-Directors. The business was acquired in 2010 from their former employer and has since been successfully owned and operated by the current management team.
The company specialises in the manufacture of non-woven needle felts, converting a wide range of natural and synthetic staple fibres into high-quality felt rolls for both consumer and industrial applications.
The business manufactures two core product ranges:
It is the only manufacturer of coloured felts in the UK, offering a comprehensive range of 48 standard colours, all manufactured in-house and held in stock. These products are widely supplied to the crafts, haberdashery and display sectors. An adhesive-backed option is available from stock across the full colour range, providing an additional competitive advantage.
The technical and industrial felts are manufactured to order, with bespoke specifications tailored to individual customer requirements and end-use applications, serving a broad range of industrial markets.
Manufacturing is carried out from 17,500 sq ft of rented industrial premises in West Yorkshire. Operations run Monday to Friday on AM and PM shifts, with no night working required.
The workforce consists of seven experienced employees, including one administrative team member. Staff retention is excellent, with individual service lengths of up to 25+ years, reflecting the stability and quality of the operation.
Annual rent is approximately £29,000. The previous lease expired prior to 2020; a new lease can be negotiated to provide long-term security for the incoming owner.
The business benefits from a loyal and longstanding customer base across online, retail and industrial sectors. Sales are non-seasonal, providing consistent trading throughout the year and strong revenue visibility.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a niche UK manufacturer with a unique market position, strong technical capability and an experienced workforce. The business would suit an industry operator, strategic buyer or investor seeking a well-established manufacturing platform with scope for further growth.
