R A Smart (CAD & Machinery)

Based in the silk town of Macclesfield we operate what is regarded by many as the country's largest digital print facility. Much of our work can be seen on catwalks around the world and found in leading department stores, working as we do for some of the biggest names in fashion and soft furnishing design. But leading the way in digital print is not all we do: we are actively committed to keeping the ancient art of weave alive, as well as promoting Macclesfield's rich silk producing history around the world. The past ten years has seen RA Smart at the forefront of digital technology, installing the latest systems throughout the UK, covering a vast array of applications. We provide a complete fabric design and print solution for businesses of all sizes, as well as working with all UK design colleges, where we actively support and encourage the next generation of designers.
