Innovative textiles and yarns since 1826

The Gaddum family has been trading in textiles since 1826.
H T Gaddum & Co Ltd was founded in 1875, developing its early trading connections with China and importing silk yarns into the UK.

We now supply a range of textiles including many innovative and unique yarns, technical and industrial fibres and fabrics for a wide variety of end uses.
