The Upholstery Forum

Hi all, thanks for having me on this great forum. I'm new to this industry, and am looking into learning the upholstery trade. I am currently doing the apprentice course. I am however struggling to find any recommended suppliers either in the UK or in Europe. My walking foot machine is currently on order, and therefore I would like to be prepared with materials beforehand.
Any experiences or tips would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi @Tuttah Welcome to the forum!
What part of Europe are you in?
If your in the UK I would give these guys a try. https://www.martrim.co.uk/

Thanks for the information John, I have seen the website and it seems to tick all of the boxes for car upholstery.
I currently live in Norway, but I can't find any upholstery shops here that are suitable. I travel to the UK quite often, so it may be easier to purchase items whilst i'm there, unless I can find some other suppliers in Sweden or in general Europe who can ship internationally.

Yeah I'm mostly familiar with US suppliers. I'm sure there are places in Europe. I did a quick google search " automotive upholstery supplies in Europe "
This place is in the Netherlands. https://www.carmat.eu/

Hope this helps!
