A Warm Lancashire Welcome
Lancashire has had a reputation as the home of the textile industry since the eighteenth century, thanks to the visionary ideas of local entrepreneurs. The fact that Hilden is based in the heart of the Lancashire countryside is no coincidence, and our heritage can be traced back to 1874, when the company was formed by the descendants of James Hargreaves, the famous inventor of the Spinning Jenny.
Hargreaves Tradition
Like their ancestors before them, the Hargreaves family still run the company with a visionary approach to the textile industry. Relationships are key to the Hilden vision. While Hilden is a family firm in the literal sense, it is a family firm in a wider sense too: very close relationships between management and workforce means the sharing of knowledge and experience to continually improve our products and services. Close, long-term working relationships have been developed with our global suppliers and overseas subsidiaries in America, France, Scandinavia and Ireland, to ensure consistent quality for customers in hotels and restaurants, airlines, cruise lines, textile rental and distribution companies around the world.
Developing Relationships
Of course, the most important relationships are those with our customers. At Hilden we aim to provide a service that is reliable and responsive to customer needs. Our dedicated team are here to advise you all the way, whether placing an order or making an enquiry. Satisfied customers have continued to provide the foundations for the future success of Hilden.
Forward Thinking
Response to customer needs, maintaining a high degree of market knowledge and awareness of quality standards in the production of our product range keeps us focused and sharp for the challenges ahead. While the changing industry has resulted in moving production to Egypt, the quality of the Hilden product has not been compromised. We are still using our weaving, dyeing and design expertise to control every stage of the production process to the same high standards so that we can continue to guarantee a commitment to quality products at extremely competitive prices.
The close relationships with employees, suppliers and customers, coupled with our experience in providing a range of high quality textiles means that Hilden is perfectly equipped to flourish in the textile market of the future.
