We now supply a full range of industrial sewing threads suitable for upholstery, leatherwork, marine fabrication, outdoor products and technical textiles. Our sewing machine thread product range includes Anefil Bonded Nylon, Sunstop Bonded Polyester, Anefil Soft Polyester and our own Platinum PTFE thread for extreme outdoor conditions.

Anefil Bonded Nylon delivers high strength, abrasion resistance and consistent performance for saddlery, leather goods, automotive interiors and heavy industrial sewing. Its bonded construction improves needle heat resistance and reduces fraying during high‑speed production.

Sunstop Bonded Polyester is engineered for outdoor durability with advanced UV protection, colour stability and reliable sewing performance. Ideal for marine upholstery, shade structures, awnings and outdoor automotive applications.

Anefil Soft Polyester provides smooth sewing, excellent UV resistance and refined stitch quality. It is a popular choice for footwear, luggage, handbags, tie‑downs and specialty industrial applications where clean seams and reduced thread breaks matter.

Platinum PTFE is our premium outdoor thread designed for harsh environments. It will not weaken from UV exposure, chemicals, temperature changes or repeated cleaning, making it ideal for awnings, tarps, sails and long‑term outdoor installations.

If you’re unsure which thread suits your materials or application, our team can help you choose the right option for your workflow.
