About Braithwaite Sewing Machines | |
| J. Braithwaite & Company began business back in the 1950’s when Britain was a leading manufacturer in the clothing and textile industry. Today our customers often refer to us as “Braithwaite’s the sewing machine people” and that is exactly who we are. With decades of successful trading there is not much we do not know about industrial sewing machines and what they are capable of stitching. We hold in-stock one of the most extensive ranges of new industrial sewing machines available anywhere in Europe and are recognized by manufacturers, Government Departments and Trade Associations, as specialists in the industrial sewing machine industry. Over the years we have been agents for many established worldwide brands and in 2003 we were appointed the sole UK/Ireland distributor for all Highlead branded sewing machines. To compliment the industrial range we have in stock allied equipment including brand leading cloth cutting machines and fusing presses, together with our time served Braithwaite range of industrial steam iron generators and vacuum pressing tables, which we have supplied & supported from our Salford/Manchester base for many years. |

| We also have hundreds of used industrial sewing machines, for supply to both trade and retail customers, with options available for servicing, reconditioning or rebuilding models with warranty for added piece of mind. Our technical department is there to support customers and offers a wide range of back-up & repair services. Our technicians can count their combined knowledge in centuries and leading brand names use our services to fulfil their warranty commitments in the UK and Ireland. | |

| We understand that choosing the right industrial sewing machine online may not be easy. It's possible to get lost in a sea of similar looking websites promising inexpensive prices for machines that may not even be in stock. That is why we maintain a large physical bricks & mortar presence. Operating out of a substantial former textile mill, you can ring through to make an appointment and then step into our large showroom to see the machinery for yourself. Everything in our showroom is in stock and ready to test, backed by a knowledgeable team of real people dedicated to supporting the clothing & textile trades in the UK. | |
