Wright & Sons Ltd are a long established family owned technical textile
weaver. The business has faced many evolutions over time, necessitating the
continual drive to innovate and develop higher value specialist products and
end-uses.

other people don't want to or can't make. Their recent commercial strength has
been in specialist aeroengine containment systems and performance fall arrest
components. Their next evolution is developing complex carbon fibre preforms
for infused parts in lightweight composite structures.
