B&L buys T&L

The British textile company, Bulmer & Lumb Group, based in Bradford, has aquired Huddersfield-based fine worsted manufacturer Taylor & Lodge. The deal will allow Bulmer & Lumb to expand its export business and to further conquer the domestic market.

Taylor & Lodge is known for its state of the art weaving and finishing. Its plant produces fabric for luxury menswear brands like Italian Ermenegildo Zegna, German Hugo Boss and British Alfred Dunhill. With this acquisition, Bulmer & Lumb hope to increase their fabric sales by up to 50% of their turnover.
