Dormeuil expands UK textile footprint with Alfred Brown acquisition

The Dormeuil Group has completed the acquisition of Alfred Brown (Worsted Mills) Ltd, taking full ownership of the Yorkshire-based textile manufacturer. The move strengthens Dormeuil’s UK manufacturing base and signals a renewed investment in British-made fabrics.

Alfred Brown, established in 1915, operates its own weaving mill and is recognised internationally for producing high-quality worsted fabrics. The acquisition brings together two long-established family companies known for their craftsmanship and dedication to quality.

The deal reinforces Dormeuil Manufacturing Ltd.’s position within the group and expands the company’s production capacity in the UK. It also supports Dormeuil’s goal to enhance its global reach while maintaining its commitment to domestic textile production.

Both Dormeuil and Alfred Brown will continue to operate under their own brands, with plans to grow Alfred Brown’s market presence and international profile. The integration is expected to position Dormeuil among the leading fabric producers in the UK, ensuring that both companies’ heritage and technical expertise remain at the centre of their future growth strategies.
