Local carpet manufacturer increase tufting capabilities

Newhey Carpets Limited, a commercial carpet designer and manufacturer, are raising their game after investing £300,000 on a second Graphics Tufted machine.

Family owned Newhey Carpets, who are approaching their 50th year in business are investing in the new machinery due to increased demand for the product. This Graphics Tufted product uses the same high quality wool rich pile yarns as Colortec and Axminster and although design flexibility is limited to stripes and small geometric patterns, it’s ideal for areas such as hotel guestrooms.

Emma Norman, Marketing Manager, says: “Graphics Tufted provides a low cost alternative to the more costly Colortec or Woven products. If we are to grow as a company it was essential the investment was made with the demand for the product being so high, we need to be able to fulfil customers expectations.”

Newhey’s tufting capabilities started in 2002 when they installed their first Colortec machine. In 2008 they invested in the world’s first 4m wide hot melt carpet secondary backing line closely followed by the installation of their first Graphics Tufting machine in 2010. By 2012, 10 years after installing the first Colortec machine, Newhey had introduced a fourth and are now considered as one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of carpet for the hospitality and leisure sectors.

Newhey’s client base include Accor Hotels, Rezidor, InterContinental Hotel Group, Marstons & Greene King.
