J&C Joel Unveils New Products At ABTT

This year’s Association of British Theatre Technicians (ABTT) show will see J&C Joel unveil a number of exciting new fabrics and drapes.

J&C Joel, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of flame retardant fabrics and flooring for the entertainment and event industries, will also use the show to celebrate its rich textile heritage. 

Located on stand C41, J&C Joel will be screening an exclusive film about the company’s rich UK manufacturing history. The business – thought to have the longest tradition of textile manufacturing in the entertainment industry - has come a long way since its early days, which can be traced back to 1847.  At the show the company will be exhibiting a new catalogue, website and rebrand as well as a number of new product innovations.

J&C Joel will use the show to present a fabric rack of new products, including: acoustic drapes, stage velvets, sheers and silks, muslin, canvases and scenic fabrics, plus a range of decorative fabrics and drapes. 

In addition to its traditional fabric offering, J&C Joel has an extensive range of acoustic fabrics that have been tested by accredited acoustic testing facilities and are supplied with full documentation.

The new ranges on show will include the Pennine IFR Collection, a variety of velvets in varying weights, which are durable, printable and suitable for a broad range of applications and hold British Standard and European flame retardant compliances. 

J&C Joel’s stand is located in C41.
