At Specialised Covers, protection is never an afterthought. With over 40 years of UK design and manufacturing expertise, we provide tailored textile solutions that support every stage of production, from shop-floor tooling and in-transit assets to mission-critical defence and aerospace equipment. While our heritage is rooted in automotive protection, our technical capabilities extend far beyond vehicles.
By combining traditional cloth patterning with advanced 3D Proliner scanning, we deliver precision-engineered covers that integrate seamlessly into your operations. Whether it’s safeguarding sensitive prototypes, machinery, or specialist equipment, every product is designed to provide durability, functionality, and total peace of mind.
From defence systems and industrial applications to marine and wellness innovations, our work proves one thing: if it involves fabric, function, and precision, we can create it.

Our Capabilities Across Defence and Beyond

At Specialised Covers, our expertise lies in creating protective textile solutions that meet the most demanding standards. Using advanced CAD & digital scanning using our Proliner 3D technology, we offer complete design flexibility. This allows us to develop precision-engineered solutions for any application, whether you’re protecting sensitive defence equipment, complex machinery, or high-value prototypes.

Our covers are built to perform in challenging environments, offering durability, corrosion resistance, water resistance, breathability, heat repellence and UV protection where it matters most. Each product is tailored to the exact dimensions of the item it protects, ensuring a secure, bespoke fit, whether it’s a one-off component, a piece of specialist kit, or a production run of technical covers.

With over 40 years of manufacturing experience, we’ve refined the art of combining craftsmanship with innovation, producing solutions that deliver reliability, longevity, and performance across defence, aerospace, industrial, and marine sectors.
