Lows of Dundee - Our 40th Year in Textiles and still Setting the Pace

The Low name has been linked to the textiles trade for over 100 years since Low Brothers was founded in 1917. 

Our Chairman and Chief Executive, Murray Low, formed Lows of Dundee in 1986 with his wife, Rosalind. 

Two divisions were created, Industrial Textile/Coated Fabrics and Horticultural /Agricultural Products.  The two divisions continue to trade today with combined annual turnover of over £16m.

Lows of Dundee, Industrial Textiles/Coated Fabrics Division, is one of the UK’s largest distributors of Industrial Textiles having formed strong partnerships with a number of textile manufacturers around the world.

The company is based in the heart of Dundee, with the main warehousing system located in Blackburn, much closer to our extensive customer base.  At our 26,000 sqft site, we continue to invest in handling equipment and staff to increase the efficiency of the site.

Lows of Dundee are the sole UK distributor for Sioline, part of Sioen Industries and one of the largest producers of PVC coated fabrics in Europe.  Sioen have an extensive range of standard products that we supply for side curtains, marquees, structures, tarpaulins and other applications.  Supported by the technical team at Sioen, we also offer bespoke solutions for your projects, whether it is a specific colour or performance requirement.  Our partnership with Sioen gives the best opportunity to find a solution to meet your needs.

Through our network of trusted partners across the globe, Lows of Dundee also offer a wide range of PVC products for applications that are more price sensitive.

Whilst PVC textiles are our largest selling products, Lows of Dundee also stock and distribute a wide selection of other materials including polyethylene, canvas, meshes, nettings, and TPUs amongst them.

With one eye firmly on the future, we are also working with our partners developing new materials that are more environmentally friendly and fully recyclable under our “Cyclowtex” brand.

At the Showman’s Show, Andrew and Chris will be on the stand to show you our range of textiles and accessories used in the manufacture of marquees and structures, from small tents up to stadium roofs.  Also on show will be products used for bags, tarpaulins, general covers, and many other industrial applications.  We look forward to seeing you there….
