Select Textiles has increased local stock holdings of Premier Digital Textiles products to improve service to clients.

According to a statement released by both companies, a key selection of UK-based Premier Digital Textiles’ range of fabrics is now available on a stock-service basis with Sydney-based Select Textiles in Australia, strengthening their global partnership which has continued for the last two years in Australia and New Zealand.

Select Textiles is a leading textile supplier dedicated to delivering high-quality fabrics and textile solutions to the global print, exhibition, sign and display markets.

Premier Digital Textiles (PDT) is Europe’s leading supplier for quality coated fabrics for digital textile printing and is part of the Premier Textiles Group of businesses. 

According to Select Textiles director, Gary Di-Losa, the additional agreement enhances the partnership between the businesses and cements their “like-minded sustainability commitments by taking the alliance to another level.

“It is with pleasure I can announce that a key selection of the Premier Digital Textiles range is now available in Australia by stock service from Select Textiles. 

“This is a major boost to an emerging industry as it ensures that quality, pre-treated solutions are now available locally and this limits the need for unnecessary air freight expenses, volume commitments and the long lead times synonymous with sourcing directly from overseas.

“It is our intent to continue to expand on this stock-service range inline with the growth of the industry and our customers.”

Premier Textiles was founded in 1981 and has more than 50,000 sq ft of modern warehousing space in Stockport and Bury, north west England.

Premier Digital Textiles sales and development manager, Mitesh Patel said: “We are delighted to announce the next step in our partnership journey with Select Textiles. 

“Like Select, we have a passion for innovation, research and development so we can remain at the forefront of technological advancements and market trends.

“This partnership has sustainability at its heart as environmental stewardship is a commitment we share and take very seriously,” Patel said.

Di Losa confirmed all products in the Premier Digital Textiles range are REACH compliant and all aspects of the Select supply chain have sustainability programs in place.

“Select Textiles is committed to sustainability across our operations, by working with like minded companies, who source ethically and responsibly. An awareness of our impact on the environment is the cornerstone to sustainability and as such is a mindset, we drive right through our supply chain. 

“Premier Digital Textiles are at the forefront of innovation and have been leaders in the growth of the pigment ink sector,” Di Losa said.

“Their pre-treatment chemistry is without peer and the extensive and diverse nature of their product offering, made them the logical partner to work alongside.

“A sourcing and supply mindset that mirrors ours and a focus on bringing greater levels of environmental awareness to our respective industries, were the motivating factors behind the expansion of our partnership. 

“And the ability to share innovation and market trends will continue to see the two entities strengthen their respective standings in the market.”
