Chesterfield’s Specialised Canvas Group acquires Protec Covers
Specialised Canvas Group, a manufacturer based in Chesterfield, has successfully acquired Protec Covers.
Protec Covers is the UK’s leading manufacturer and retailer of motorhome and caravan covers. This latest acquisition further strengthens Specialised Canvas’ growth within the UK leisure market.
The company, based on Staveley’s Ireland Industrial Estate, says the takeover aligns perfectly with its campervan and motorhome windscreen cover brand, Custom Camping.
Founded in 1997, Protec Covers has earned a sterling reputation within the UK leisure vehicle market for providing durable, custom-fit covers specifically designed for the transportation and storage of caravans, campervans, and motorhomes.
Paul Noble, Managing Director of Specialised Canvas, shared his excitement: “We are delighted to welcome Protec Covers to the growing Specialised Canvas family.
“With our extensive fabric and sewing capacity and expertise, along with our years of experience within the leisure vehicle industry, we are perfectly positioned to build on Protec’s success and continue providing customers with market-leading products and services.”
“Our team has been hard at work to ensure a seamless transition in production and resolve any fabric supply challenges. We are pleased to announce that we are currently fulfilling past orders and accepting new ones for caravan towing jackets and caravan covers.
“Looking ahead, we expect to restart production of motorhome and campervan covers by late 2024, once we have addressed our current backlog.”
Nick Catt, Destination Chesterfield Board Member said: “I would like to congratulate Specialised Canvas on this latest acquisition. It is positive to see manufacturers across our town thriving and growing, helping to boost jobs and prosperity in our town’s economy.”
