Locations
Founded in Scotland in 1868, Wilkie has grown into a global leader in industrial materials and technical textiles.
Two locations, one global team
Our headquarters remain in Scotland, and we are proud to also have manufacturing facilities in Jiaxing, China.
What unites our teams worldwide is a commitment to delivering advanced textile technology for customers worldwide. We continually develop new materials to solve real-world challenges – helping our customers, and their customers, make the extraordinary happen.
Each Wilkie site plays a vital role in delivering advanced technical textiles to our customers worldwide. From spinning and weaving to coating, finishing and R&D, we operate as one global team to serve companies across industries.
Kirriemuir and Forfar, Scotland
We operate two major manufacturing sites in Kirriemuir and Forfar, supporting our UK and European markets with advanced, end-to-end production capabilities.
Together, these facilities house our group headquarters and research and development functions, which enables a fully integrated process that spans warping, weaving, knitting, slitting, coating, cut-and-sew, and small-scale finishing and coating—all under one operational umbrella.
Wilkie China
Established in 2007 in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, Wilkie China serves as a vital manufacturing base for our Asian and global customers. With its own spinning capabilities, the site enables vertical integration from fibre through to finished material, allowing us to meet high demand and complex specifications across spun yarn production, weaving, coating, and cut-and-sew operations.
