Textile solutions that protect and last
Every operation has unique challenges, and sometimes the solution isn’t off the shelf. Ideas and execution are where we come in.
At Douglas Innovation, we design and fabricate custom textile solutions that solve problems for transport, logistics, engineering, and food industry operations across Hawke’s Bay and CHB.
Our clients range from procurement managers in large manufacturing plants to owner-operators running tight schedules.
Whatever the scale, they all need the same things: timeliness, durability, and innovative problem-solving. With our experienced team, we make sure downtime is minimised and every solution is fit for purpose.
Solutions for manufacturing machinery
From protective sleeves to flexible barriers, we’ve created textile solutions for machinery of every shape and size.
Each design is tailored to fit precisely, providing protection from dust, debris, moisture, or wear and tear.
With a solid range of agricultural-grade fabrics and foams available to browse in our Hastings showroom, we can advise on the best fit for your machinery and operating conditions.
Containment bunds
In the food and processing industries, containment is critical.
We custom-build containment bunds and barriers using tough, waterproof fabrics, ensuring compliance with hygiene, safety and environmental standards while still being practical to install, clean, and maintain.
Custom chutes
Each chute is tailored for the specific product and environment.
Our team fabricates custom chutes to suit your production line requirements, directing materials where they need to go while reducing spillage and mess.
Production line solutions
When production needs evolve, we’re ready to adapt.
From protective enclosures to textile guards, our production line solutions are designed to solve bottlenecks, improve safety, and support efficiency.
Container airlock solutions
We design and fabricate container airlock solutions to keep goods clean, protected, and compliant during storage and shipping.
Using heavy-duty industrial textiles, these can be customised for both large-scale logistics providers and smaller, specialised operators.
Dust and hygiene barriers
Each barrier is custom-made to fit the layout of your site.
For both transport and manufacturing environments, we create dust and hygiene barriers that separate clean areas, protect sensitive goods, and reduce contamination risks.
