Heritage & Innovation in Textiles

Roaches International is a UK based manufacturer of equipment used for the manufacture and quality control of textiles  – known and respected worldwide for its suite of laboratory dyeing and testing equipment.

Roaches technology is finding its way all corners of the world’s textile industry, from  Aachen University in Germany to London’s Royal Opera House to the Thai and Vietnamese military, both using equipment to test the wash fastness of uniforms; and also on the Kenya-Tanzania border, where it is used in a textile project designed to coax the local population away from wildlife poaching.

Mission Statement

It is the mission of Roaches to provide the textile testing industry with a one stop shop for all of their equipment, consumables and service requirements.
