Nonwovenn has been acquired by CorpAcq in a deal that marks the exit of growth capital investor BGF after nearly a decade of backing the Somerset-based manufacturer.
Founded in 2003 by chairman David Lamb, the business designs and manufactures specialist nonwoven technical fabrics for niche applications, with a strong focus on harm reduction.
Its products are used in areas including protective clothing, wound care and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) protection.
BGF first invested in the business in 2016, providing multi-million-pound funding to support expansion and innovation.
Since that initial investment, the firm has more than doubled its annual turnover, growing revenues from £19 million in 2016 to £46m in 2025, with continued growth into 2026.
