Delta Filter Services dates back 25 years in the field of high-quality replacement filter products – notably anti-bacterial air socks, fabric dust filters and cartridge filters – for sectors including food and pharmaceutical.

This year, Arville has already boosted its fabric engineering capabilities with a suite of new weaving looms and a warping machine worth over £1.2m in total. The firm has also achieved successive double-digit year-on-year growth.

Previous acquisitions for the group have included The Multiple Fabric Company in 1997 and P&S Textiles in 2000.

Arville started out weaving woollen uniforms for the public sector in the 1950s. The company achieved the prestigious ISO 14001 certification in 2018, for its commitment to the highest environmental standards in its work.
