John Hogg Acquires Nanoflam To Expand Textile Technologies Portfolio
John Hogg Technical Solutions has acquired Nanoflam Ltd, a manufacturer of water-based textile coatings, halogen-free flame retardants and blackout flame-retardant technologies, strengthening its offering across furnishing, transport, outdoor and technical textile applications.
Announced on October 27, the acquisition advances John Hogg’s strategy to build a broader, technically differentiated textiles business, following its acquisition of Avocet Dye and Chemical in November 2024.
Nanoflam adds flame-retardant backcoatings, blackout and dimout systems, digital-printing coatings and specialist textile solutions to the group’s portfolio. These complement John Hogg’s existing flame-retardant, colour and processing technologies.
“We are thrilled to welcome Nanoflam to the John Hogg group,” said Philip Double, CEO of John Hogg Technical Solutions. “Bringing together the strengths of our flame-retardant businesses supports our commitment to investing in our product range and extending our market reach. Nanoflam’s leading products and talented team complement our existing capabilities and will help us build an even stronger textiles business.”
Andrew Littlewood, Managing Director of Nanoflam, said the companies’ shared focus on customer service and technical excellence made the partnership a strong fit.
“By combining Nanoflam’s products and technical expertise with John Hogg’s resources and wider portfolio, we can strengthen what we offer existing customers while expanding into new applications and geographies,” he added.
