What to look for in a supplier

Look for evidence of successful projects that demonstrate their ability to translate requirements into tested, reliable outcomes. Case studies, technical data, and real-world results are the clearest signs of a partner who delivers quality solutions. Learn more about our UK-manufactured PVC-coated textile solutions here.

• Collaborative service. The best suppliers engage early, prototype quickly, and provide support throughout production, not just at the RFQ stage.

  

Many buyers seeking UK industrial textiles with a PVC coating have common questions about lead times, compliance, and technical capabilities. Below, we answer the ones we hear most, to help you choose the right supplier.

Do you supply across the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland)?


Yes, Wilkie serves the UK and overseas from its Scotland base in Kirriemuir, Angus, with both UK and European account support.

Typical lead times for UK procurement?


Lead times vary by specification and volume; UK manufacture shortens logistics and reduces risk compared to long-haul imports. Contact the team to scope your project.  At Wilkie, stock ranges have faster lead times, whereas custom orders typically take longer. 

Which standards should I reference in my RFQ?


Reference the relevant British/ISO coated-textile standards for your end use and include any labelling/compliance requirements in your specification. 

Can you support sector-specific performance (e.g., waterproofing, FR, abrasion)? 

Yes, Wilkie's coating portfolio supports waterproof, flame-retardant and heavy-duty performance across multiple applications.

What MOQs apply?


MOQs depend on substrate, coating route and colourway. The Wilkie team is available to advise during sampling, so feel free to contact us here!
