About Cygnet Texkimp
Engineering the Future of Fibre Processing
Cygnet Texkimp is a British engineering company with a global reach, designing and manufacturing state-of-the-art handling and processing machinery for the world’s high-performance fibre and fabric industries. From aerospace and automotive to energy, medical, and defence, our technologies process advanced fibres that shape the future of how we move, build, and live.
We design and build custom machinery to handle and process technical fibres – including carbon, glass, aramid, and other advanced materials – for use across key sectors such as:
A Legacy of British Innovation
Founded in 1974, Cygnet Texkimp began by manufacturing fibre unwinding creels for the traditional textile market. Over five decades later, we’ve evolved into a world-leading designer of advanced fibre processing and converting technologies, proudly exporting British engineering excellence to more than 30 countries worldwide.
Today, 95% of our machines are exported, and 100% are built in the UK – combining 45 years of precision engineering with cutting-edge innovation and a continuous programme of research and development.
Our portfolio includes laminators, coaters, slitters, prepreg and winding machines, as well as automation and fibre-handling systems — all designed to help manufacturers achieve faster, smarter, and more sustainable production.
Driven by Innovation
Innovation is at the heart of everything we do
At our Innovation Centre in Cheshire, we collaborate with world-leading scientists, engineers, and universities to pioneer next-generation fibre processing and composite manufacturing technologies.
