Somac Acquires Holrose Threads and Sylkay Textiles Ltd

January 5th, 2018 Somac Threads

Somac Threads Ltd is delighted to announce the purchase of Holrose Threads and Sylkay Textiles Ltd, formerly based in Golborne, Warrington.

Holrose and Sylkay were well established companies serving the UK market with product ranges which differed from those traditionally served by Somac Threads. These products include the Vanguard spun polyester range, industrial and sewing monofilament and high quality viscose yarn including the world renowned ENKA viscose. Somac are now the sole authorised UK distributor for ENKA viscose. Other products now available include flat rubber elastic and piping cord. The acquisition therefore vastly increases Somac’s range of industrial sewing threads available to our customers.

We are also delighted to welcome Tim Rowling and Jo Maltby to the Chester office to continue to support Holrose and Sylkay customers.
