Durafil

The British Standard

Durafil not only lead the way in sewing thread R&D; we also make sure that our winning formulas stay exactly the same when in production. We use single-origin, virgin fibre and European precision machinery. We manufacture everything under one roof, keeping temperature and humidity constant throughout the year. And we digitise vital data all the way from materials sourcing to final product delivery. That’s why it’s so easy to do business with Durafil.


Because we simply do what we’re supposed to do.


 We deliver to spec.

“Best-case-scenario performance is a pointless metric. What you want is plain and simple consistency.”

Durafil CEO
