We specialise in the design and manufacture of performance fabric and contract upholstery for seating, and have continually strived to develop technically superior products for upholstery supplies. As part of this, we have a full time Plastics Technologist who constantly improves our product ranges.
On an ongoing basis, we improve our most traditional and long-standing products to ensure that they pass new EU regulations, REACH directives and customer-required improvements in the areas of microbial resistance (C. Diff, NDM-1), fire retardancy and usability. Our top quality materials and uncompromising manufacturing standards produce an inherently better product.
In addition, where new ingredients and production processes are developed in the industry Chieftain endeavours to adopt these improvements into our production processes and product range portfolio.
Our innovative production minimises environmental impact : 25% of raw material is from recycled content and we produce a fabric that is 90% recyclable.
