Textile company James Robinson Fibres to invest £750k in Bradford operation

Yorkshire-based textile company James Robinson Fibres is to invest over £750,000 into its head office and warehousing at Euroway Industrial Estate in Bradford, enhancing operational efficiency as it celebrates 150 years of pioneering spirit in the textile industry.

The fifth-generation family business has been making significant investments across the group. This follows a £10m investment into Texfelt’s Cutler Heights facilities, positioning the company as a global leader in innovative textile fibres & fillings solutions.

JR Fibres will utilise this investment to refurbish buildings, enhance office and welfare facilities, and consolidate all business departments under one roof. The investment also extends to IT infrastructure and other operational efficiencies, improving flow and function to achieve world-class efficiency levels in manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics divisions.

James Taylor, Group Chairman, said: “As we celebrate 150 years of James Robinson Fibres, we’re not just reflecting on our achievements but actively shaping our future. This investment represents our commitment to continuous innovation and adaptability – principles that have been the cornerstone of our success since 1873.

“Throughout our history, we’ve consistently reinvented ourselves to meet changing market demands. From our origins in wool dyeing to pioneering recycled fibres, and now leading the way in sustainable products and materials, we’ve always embraced change. This latest investment ensures we remain at the forefront of innovation, ready to tackle the challenges and opportunities of the next 150 years.”
