Empress Mills (1927) Ltd

About Us

At Empress Mills we marry craftsmanship in the production of fine sewing threads to the very latest technology and - rather than keep our products just for industry - you can now access the huge variety of types and shades straight to your door with our online shopping catalogue.
Threads and yarns of all types are now produced on computerised machinery yet the basic processes remain. We draw out fibres - whether natural, man-made or a combination - twist them together to give strength, dye them to a vast array of colours, lubricate them for sewability and finally wind them onto bobbins and spools suitable for all purposes.
