THE WEAVING GROUP INDUSTRY STUDY TOUR

The itinerary of the study tour is planned to create interest for all participants, with mill visits being of relevance and value to those involved in most sectors of fabric production.

The success of recent tours to leading manufacturing organisations in Belgium, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and USA is a testament to the benefits gained and the experience enjoyed by all concerned.

UK STUDY TOUR

This UK study tour has been specifically designed to allow members of The Weaving Group and other parties, particularly from schools, colleges etc. to visit modern weaving and associated manufacturing installations, which produce a variety of fabrics across a wide range of weaving machinery. In addition, visits to education and research, spinning, dyeing and other manufacturing establishments make this a tour not to be missed.
