Dickson Constant

What they make

According to their website, Dickson-Constant is a French textile manufacturer based in Wasquehal, in the north of France, tracing its origins to a textile mill founded in 1836, with the Dickson and Constant operations merging in 1969 and the company joining the American Glen Raven Group in 1998. Its Wasquehal site houses weaving, R&D, an in-house design studio, and quality control together, and it produces three main lines: acrylic solar-protection fabrics for awnings and screens (including dyed-in-mass acrylic and recycled-fiber options), woven vinyl flooring, and upholstery, curtain and marine fabrics marketed under the Sunbrella brand. Some window and screen fabrics are woven up to 300 cm wide. Markets served include architects and designers, the marine/boat-building sector, and residential, hospitality and commercial interiors. The company states its site management systems are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 50001, and that individual textile products carry OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and GREENGUARD GOLD certification, with some products eligible for LEED and BREEAM green-building credits.
