About Us

OUR STORY

1971 – Our Beginning

We began as a small, family-run quilting operation, founded by Bashir Ahmed with just a single quilting machine in Lancashire. This humble start laid the foundation for what has become one of the leading comfort product manufacturers in the industry today.

1991 – A Family Legacy

The sons of Bashir Ahmed joined the business. Under their leadership, we expanded our operations, developing new products such as quilting for garments and bedding, and further solidifying our expertise in the industry.

2005 – Expanding Horizons

To meet growing demand, we established a cutting-edge production facility in Pakistan, run by our sister company, Bedouin. This allowed us to provide high-quality production at competitive costs while maintaining European standards of service.

2011– B&A Incoporation

We officially became B&A Quilting (UK) Limited, marking a new era of growth. We focused on building long-term relationships with high-profile clients and brands, securing our position as a leader in the bedding industry.

2014 – Diversification

We diversified into new sectors, including the production of filtration socks for the oil industry and insulated quarantine tents for global health crises. These initiatives demonstrated our adaptability and commitment to innovation across various industries.

2018 – A Key Global Supplier

We became a trusted supplier for one of Europe’s fastest-growing online mattress brands. By producing high-quality mattresses, pillows, and toppers, we played a crucial role in their expanding success.

2019 – Overcoming Challenges

After a fire destroyed our factory, we rapidly relocated to a larger facility. This move allowed us not only to recover but also to expand production, ensuring our continued growth and resilience.
