Experts in cotton, synthetics and technical fibres, H & C Whitehead are a commission finisher based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire. Recently, the company has been helping the national effort by applying novel Anti-Viral finishes on behalf of their customers.
The Anti-Viral finish also offers some additional protection against virus transmission – even after laundry cycles.
Taking note that turnaround times are often measured in days rather than weeks, H & C Whitehead are helping to demonstrate that a faster and more agile UK supply of protective workwear can be possible.
On the face of it, H & c Whitehead may seem like a traditional Yorkshire textile finisher, born out of the natural ‘soft water’ valleys of Calderdale in 1925 to service the then-thriving local weavers. However, after reinventing themselves time and time again to continue to add value in changing markets, traditional is not how you’d describe their modern-day factory today.
Featuring some of the latest and most sophisticated finishing machinery in the world, they can offer treatments such as:
- crease resistance
- shrink resistance
- anti-microbial
- improved abrasion
- softening/stiffening
- anti-fraying
- anti-seam slippage
- anti-pilling
- expert fabric straightening
- flame retardant applications
