Bamboo Textiles Ltd
is an innovative company.
Production of textile fibre made from bamboo was begun on an
industrial scale and patented in China in 2001 and is considered a viscose
fibre.
We set up the Company 14 years ago, having changed the name
of a dormant subsidiary of Lantex, to
discover which products made from woven, knitted and non woven fabrics would
suit different markets in the household and healthcare sectors. We have
developed several products most of which are made in East Lancashire. These
include washable, biodegradable nappy liners, antibacterial / bacteriostatic
children's pyjamas, cotsheets, baby cuddlerobes and towels, luxury bedlinen and
pillows.
Bamboo bedlinen is
extremely comfortable albeit expensive.
Research has been conducted with the help of Manchester
University, University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) in Preston, Manchester Metropolitan University
(MMU) and Lancaster universities.
The company has got to the stage at which we want to link up
with larger companies who can develop each of our products further.
