Nonwovenn, a nonwoven technical fabrics manufacturer and supplier, has been acquired by CorpAcq, an England-based business acquisitions company backed by TDR Capital. The acquisition also marks the exit of BGF, a U.K. and Ireland growth capital investor.
The company was founded in 2003 by the current chairman, David Lamb. The business has a strong focus on harm reduction with its product range, including materials for protective clothing and wound treatment. Following an initial multi-million-pound investment in 2016, BGF has supported the business through a period of significant growth.
The company has increased its annual turnover from £19 million ($25 million) in 2016 to £46 million ($62 million) in 2025, and has continued to grow into 2026. The business has recently invested a further £1.5 million ($2 million) in research and development to enhance its chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear protective solutions.
“We’re proud to have delivered such consistent growth and strong profitability over two decades, whilst remaining committed to maintaining the highest quality and customer satisfaction across our product lines. Partnering with BGF has been instrumental in maximizing our potential. enabling us to strengthen innovation, diversify product lines and expand internationally. We’re excited to build on these strong foundations in our next phase of growth as part of CorpAcq,” says Lamb.
“Nonwovenn is an outstanding business with a leading market position, strong growth prospects and a highly experienced management team. We see significant opportunity in the fabric technology space and are looking forward to establishing a long-term partnership with David and his team as Nonwovenn enters the next stage of its development,” says Stuart Kissen, head of acquisitions at CorpAcq.
