Stead McAlpin has been manufacturing high quality furnishing fabrics continuously since 1835. As specialist printers and dyers, we operate mainly from designs commissioned by our customers, producing both apparel and furnishing fabrics (domestic and contract) to the highest standards.

We work closely with our customers, UK, European and International, at every stage of the manufacturing process to ensure a first-class product.

Since September 2007, Stead McAlpin, previously owned by the John Lewis Partnership, has been part of Apex Textiles Ltd, who have brought a new and exciting vision to the company, together with manufacturing expertise. Add the vision and expertise to the planned investment programme and the skills of an experienced and committed workforce, and it’s clear that Stead McAlpin’s future is bright.
