Manchester, 27 October 2026 – John Hogg Technical Solutions (“John Hogg”) is pleased to
announce the acquisition of Nanoflam Ltd (“Nanoflam”), a leading manufacturer of water-
based textile coatings, halogen-free flame retardants and blackout FR technologies.
The acquisition expands the group’s ability to support customers across furnishing,
transport, outdoor and technical textile applications. It also marks another significant step in John Hogg’s strategy to build a broader, technically differentiated textiles business,
following the acquisition of Avocet Dye and Chemical in November 2024.
Nanoflam brings complementary flame-retardant backcoatings, blackout and dimout
systems, digital-printing coatings, and solutions for transport, outdoor and technical textiles to John Hogg’s portfolio. These capabilities strengthen the group’s existing flame-retardant, colour and processing technologies and broaden its offering across the textiles market.
“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.”
“We are proud of the business we have built and believe John Hogg is the right partner for
Nanoflam’s next chapter,” said Andrew Littlewood, Managing Director of Nanoflam. “Our
shared emphasis on customer service and technical excellence makes this 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.”
