Situated in the northern textile heartlands
of the United Kingdom, commission weavers C&J Antich & Sons has over 53 machines and is fully operational 168 hours per week.

From splendid and futuristic purpose-built premises in Huddersfield, state-of-the-art technology operates to satisfy an insatiable marketplace, a marketplace cultivated by a unique approach to the textiles business.

Such thought and care has gone into the planning and preparation of the C&J Antich & Sons building that it not only boasts the optimum mix and layout of state-of-the-art equipment in a fully air-conditioned atmosphere, but it also creates an inspirational and satisfying work environment.

The company turns out 60/70,000 metres of fabric per week, much of which is highly technical. The operation is entirely computerized with statistical process and quality control systems. The emphasis on computerization and information technology is to enhance the quality and performance of skilled operatives, and to equip the company with the tools to accommodate change well into the next century. Fully computerized jacquard 'name-edge' machines especially complement the first of three main market niches:

Couture
The foundation on which C&J Antich & Sons was built, this area accounts for approximately 60% of the business by volume and commissions include exclusive, lightweight, short-run fabrics for the design and couture houses of the world.

Bulk Business
An area of work that requires mass production of consistent quality fabrics for high street markets such as Debenhams, Marks & Spencer, Next and other leading European retailers.

Corporate contracts
The business has corporate contracts with many leading businesses, supplying both fabrics and garments to specific requirements. Clients, such as British Airways, have enjoyed the quality of the C&J Antich & Sons product and experienced world-class service for a number of years.
