Today, Camira has an annual turnover of around £85 million and employs more than 630 people. Its products are sold in approximately 75 countries and the business produces eight million metres per year.
Headquartered in the UK, the company has manufacturing facilities in the UK and Lithuania, offices and showrooms in Europe, North America, Australia and China and a global network of agents and distributors.
The company has always been a pioneer of innovation when it comes to a sustainable understanding of textiles and has been producing recycled fabrics for more than 20 years, as well as innovating a new category of fabrics made from natural wool and bast fibers, such as nettle, hemp, and flax.
