M 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.

They characterise themselves as making products that 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.
