We have the textile or fabric solution for your business needs

Ritex started in 1986, when Peter Rutherford led a management buyout of the textiles division from Wrightson NMA. Four decades later, the same principle holds: supply good textiles at a fair price, and back it up with a relationship that lasts longer than one order. We're based in Nelson. We're still family-run. And we still answer the phone ourselves.

At Ritex, we specialise in procuring and distributing high-quality textiles for industrial, agricultural, horticultural, and hospitality sectors. Whether you require durable packaging, agricultural textiles, protective horticultural fabrics, or premium hospitality linens, our extensive product range is designed to meet the diverse needs of various industries. We supply a wide range of textiles, including HDPE and nylon wool packs, bulk and produce bags, knitting yarn, mussock cotton, hessian and jute products, hospitality linen and towelling, carpet backing, ground covers, frost cloth, and more.

At Ritex, we understand that every business has unique requirements. That’s why we offer customised textile solutions, competitive pricing, and flexible order sizes. Our experience makes the difference—helping you find the perfect textile product to support your operations with quality and reliability.
