Experience
Worthington can boast over 200 years experience of producing sewing threads of the highest quality. Back in 1803 they manufactured threads from silk at their Portland Mill based in Leek, but since those early years they have developed and produced a myriad of other threads in line with the changing needs of the industries they serve.
Today, specialist fibres are demanded to meet stringent performance requirements, and each thread is twisted to its own specification, set, dyed if required and lubricated. Quality control of all raw materials and constant inspection throughout the manufacturing process have a high priority within the company so as to ensure that the reputation Worthington has gained with customers both at home and overseas is maintained.
The main external markets for industrial threads include air and liquid filter manufacturers, the intermediate bulk container, packaging and the safety harness industries.
A significant proportion of the specialist threads are transferred internally to the company's braid and cord department where they are used in the manufacture of a wide range of products amongst which are parachute cords and restraining straps which are widely used for ejector seats in military
With a look to the future, the company has not only invested heavily in the latest high performance machinery, but also in ongoing research into new thread technology. Often new threads are developed in partnership with customers and the company welcomes joint initiatives of this kind.
Sewability & Technical Support
The company invests heavily in product development and monitoring production so as to ensure that customers experience trouble free sewing performance. Technical information and advice is readily available from the company's after-sales support team.
