th), Camira is celebrating almost two centuries of transport textiles manufacturing.
Origins
The company’s story began in 1822, when a cloth manufacturer named John Holdsworth founded a worsted spinning mill named Holdsworth in Halifax in the North of England.
With a rich family history in fabric manufacturing, Holdsworth already had extensive knowledge of the industry and the company quickly grew. In the following decades it created yarns from raw wool and specialised woven fabrics, including damasks, velvets and tapestries. It also established its reputation for providing speciality cloth for railroads and shipping companies and began supplying these to transport organisations across the world.
