Yorkshire-based technical textiles specialist Arville has entered into a formal Trade Mark Licencing Agreement (TMLA) with DuPont for its high performance Nomex branded yarns.

The scope of the agreement covers a range of Arville’s projects across the UK and Europe, where the company is known for the manufacture of high performance fabrics, which are used in demanding end applications within aerospace, automotive, defence/military and industrial sectors.

“We are looking forward to working more closely with DuPont. As we continue to grow our business we see having strong partnerships with our suppliers as key. In addition to building these relationships we are also investing in extra production capacity to meet the growing demand,” commented Arville’s Managing Director, Jim Wight.

This latest partnership ties in with Arville’s work within the PPE sector, where it is developing an innovative range of patented fabrics designed to provide high levels of protection for emergency services personnel. Woven from a custom blend of Nomex yarns, Arville’s ComfortShell fabric has a construction, which is said to allow for some of the most lightweight and comfortable firefighter uniform ensembles yet seen in the market, according to the company.
