Industry Profile
Camira designs and manufactures textiles for every space and sector; from commercial and residential, to public transport, including bus, coach and rail.
Headquartered in the UK, Camira has manufacturing facilities in the UK and Lithuania, offices and showrooms in Europe, North America, Australia and China and a global network of agents and distributors.
Recently, the business has moved towards textile-to-textile recycling to combat the growing issue of textile waste. However Camira has always been a pioneer in sustainable textiles, introducing its first recycled fabrics in the 1990s, as well as innovating a new category of fabrics made from natural wool and plant fibres, such as nettles, flax and hemp.
Camira is a privately-owned UK textile group founded in 1974 under the name Camborne Fabrics, but its heritage goes back to 1783 through various acquisitions. Until a management buy-out in 2006, the company was a subsidiary of Interface, an international manufacturer of textile modular floor coverings, for almost ten years. Today, Camira has an annual turnover of around £85 million and employs more than 600 people. Its products are sold in approximately 75 countries.
