Peter Jackson & Sons, a leading textile manufacturer for the pet sector, and Tioopo Capital, a pan-European Private Equity firm, announce the signing of agreements under which Tioopo will acquire a majority stake in PJS.
Established in 1984, Peter Jackson & Sons is a manufacturer of bespoke heavyweight pile fabrics based in Barkisland, West Yorkshire. The company is best known for its Veterinary Bedding range, a market-leading product trusted by veterinarians, pet owners, and animal welfare organisations across the United Kingdom and beyond.
A diversified manufacturing platform
Beyond its Veterinary Bedding heritage, PJS manufactures bespoke pile fabrics for an impressive range of demanding markets:
- Bedding and home, premium textiles for leading mattress and bedding brands
- Medical, speciality fabrics for medical and care applications
- Apparel, heavyweight fabrics for performance and fashion
- Equestrian, durable textiles for the demanding equestrian market
- Automotive and aerospace, specialised fabrics for high-performance applications
The combination of a strong heritage brand, technical manufacturing expertise, and exposure to multiple high-quality end markets makes PJS a perfect example of the businesses Tioopo Capital seeks to back: established companies with rare know-how, defensive market positions, and significant runway for operational improvement.
Tioopo's first UK investment
This acquisition marks Tioopo Capital's first investment in the United Kingdom, and the beginning of the firm's pan-European strategy combining French and British niche industrial businesses under a single operations-first approach.
