Vision Linens Group has further expanded its business with the acquisition of family-owned textiles company, Swiscot Group.

Established in 1968, Swiscot is one of the fastest-growing commercial linen suppliers in the UK. Its brand, Linen Connect, supplies a number of UK commercial laundries and a large proportion of the UK’s healthcare linens.

With a 200-year heritage and a worldwide presence, Vision supplies key players within the global hospitality, retail, and ecommerce markets. The deal allows Vision to strengthen its position, particularly within the laundry market, with a 27-strong team and an office and distribution centre located in Salford.

Fraser Donaldson, Sales VP & General Manager for Vision Linens says: “The resulting business is an exciting opportunity for both parties and the UK laundry market. Together, we will enhance our buying power, while Linen Connect customers will benefit through accessing our best-in-class global supply chain.

The team at Swiscot is a talented workforce, with who we have already begun to share our knowledge and to learn from each other. Together we look forward to growing our customers and suppliers.”
