Research Development

The technical Textiles Arena is the fastest growing sector of Scottish Textiles, contributing £560m of sales. To develop as a company into the next decade and beyond it is important that the MYB Group focus on this technical sector.

In order to capitalise on niche market opportunities across industry sectors MYB are working closely with both Universities and Finishing Companies. Committed to developing tomorrow’s fabrics, MYB are capitalising on the combination of a unique plant facility and the knowledge provided by our global partners. Although our Lace looms are over 100 years old, they are the widest looms in the world and can produce an amazing quantity of weave structures. We also house a selection of looms that have been altered to produce the most stable of open ‘leno’ weaves.

Specialising in Natural fibres MYB have a commitment to energy and environmental efficiencies but also a keen commercial awareness. We do stock a multitude of specialist yarns and supply a number of FR and IFR textiles.

MYB also have the luxury of dedicated sample looms and are well versed at providing fabric solutions to the most bizarre textile questions from a variety of different Industries. We always welcome a challenge but always need clients to provide the problem, so please contact the Information line if you would like us to assist a development.
