Camtex Fabrics Limited was established over 50 years ago to manufacture Cambrelle® for the international footwear market. A genuine bicomponent fibre that combined two polyamides, nylon 6 and nylon 6.6, in a single filament, it allowed the difference in their melt points to make it the ideal fibre for superior non-woven textiles.
Originally manufactured on the edge of the globally famous Lake District in the UK allowed local fell walkers and hikers to become the first consumers to appreciate the benefits that Cambrelle® shoe linings added to their outdoor footwear.
From the outset, Cambrelle® set the standard when it comes to comfort and durability. Always innovating to meet wide-ranging needs across the full spectrum of sports and leisure activities as well as safety standards in the workplace. Cambrelle® has developed innovations to meet all of the required standards and levels of performance demanded by today’s consumer combined with the comfort and durability for which Cambrelle® is renowned. Building on this legacy, Cambrelle® now offers a 100% recycled fibre range, delivering the same trusted performance with a lower environmental footprint.
That’s why Cambrelle® remains the world leader in footwear linings.
The advanced properties of Cambrelle® were also recognised in the USA, where it received the official seal of approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association. It gained further recognition and international protection as a result of Cambrelle’s pique pattern design being registered as a trademark in the USA, which gives extended protection to consumers against counterfeit material being passed off as the genuine article.
Camtex Fabrics produces its range of Cambrelle® shoe lining material in factories in the UK, China and Vietnam, the overseas facilities necessitated by the demands of major footwear manufacturers and the global brands that have their footwear produced in Asia.
