Mudfords: Over 190 Years of Quality, Reliability, and Protection
Since 1832, Mudfords has been at the heart of British manufacturing and industrial supply. What began as a small rope and twine business in Sheffield has evolved into one of the UK’s most trusted names in industrial textiles, protective covers, and site essentials.
Nearly two centuries on, the Mudfords name continues to stand for durability, dependability, and exceptional service qualities that have earned us long-standing partnerships across construction, infrastructure, logistics, and manufacturing sectors.
A Legacy Built on Craftsmanship
Our story started in the early 19th century, when Mudfords supplied ropes and sacks to the growing industries of Northern England. As Britain industrialised, so did we expanding into textiles, covers, and industrial-grade materials that kept worksites safe and efficient.
Today, that same commitment to quality craftsmanship underpins everything we do. From sourcing premium materials to precision stitching and finishing, we maintain the same attention to detail that has kept our reputation strong for more than 190 years.
