Q&E are niche, specialist and there is no comparative company in the field of creative and innovative surface treatments who do what we do.
Q&E by EDS
Quilt and Embroidery (Q&E) is the EDS brand servicing British manufacturing with a cradle to grave solution for production run and bespoke orders. As leaders in the field of digitisation, EDS provide training to enable individuals to develop the appropriate skills. However, with a growing demand for production sampling and fulfilment of outsourced work, EDS evolved to form the sub-brand Q&E.
Innovative Designs for Manufacture
Innovation and British brands are at the heart of what we’re most passionate about. As a result Q&E now supply some of the most iconic British Brands in the fashion sector in addition to being:
- A Tier 1 supplier to the luxury automotive sector
Working with British iconic automotive brands for over a decade, we have a quality management system which delivers consistent manufacturing and quality to the most exacting commercial standards.
- A leading fine art embroidery company
With commissions from artists worldwide, we are proud to have worked upon projects as varied as historic reproductions, royal commissions and personal collections.
- Recognised as World Class Innovator
In 2020 we were presented with the Queens Award for Innovation for our work on a 3D embroided medical application which helps new tissue to grow into the body of the implant, enabling a longer term regenerative repair.
The Queens Award for Innovation
Working closely with the client, Q&E were instrumental in developing a complex medical weave forming a reliable,
integral component of an implant for
the human body.
This innovation will reduce pain and improve the lives of patients, which in turn will benefit our NHS and health organisations globally.
High-end production capability
With a high-end production capability, Q&E can provide the responsiveness required by OEM design teams. Combined with the creative eye to translate their concepts into designs for manufacture samples. This creative approach has seen a growth in production capability as the highly technical designs needed true craftsmanship to manufacture to the ‘sample quality’ approved.
