A New Era of Innovation & Quality

 

For more than two decades, Protec Covers has been a trusted name among caravan and motorhome owners. Known for its dedication to protecting leisure vehicles from the unpredictable British weather, road grime, and everyday wear and tear, the brand has become synonymous with peace of mind for touring enthusiasts.


Now, Protec Covers is embarking on an exciting new journey. In 2024, the business officially became part of the Specialised Canvas Group – a leading UK manufacturer with decades of expertise in technical textiles and specialist sewing.

This landmark development represents far more than a corporate handover. It marks the start of a new era of investment, innovation, and growth designed to strengthen everything Protec customers value most: quality, reliability, and outstanding service.

Building on a Legacy of Trust

Protec Covers was founded with one simple mission: to give caravan and motorhome owners confidence that their pride and joy was well-protected. Over the years, the company has become a market leader, serving thousands of customers with covers that combine durability with ease of use.

From all-season storage covers to towing jackets designed to guard against stone chips and road spray, Protec’s range has been shaped by first-hand knowledge of the challenges owners face. It’s this foundation of real-world expertise that makes the brand so trusted within the leisure vehicle community.

Investment in Facilities and People

Joining the Specialised Canvas Group has already unlocked exciting opportunities. At the heart of this transformation is a new, state-of-the-art contract sewing facility in Chesterfield.

Purpose-built for scale and efficiency, this facility is dedicated entirely to producing Protec Covers. It brings together advanced machinery, skilled craftspeople, and a streamlined production process under one roof.

  • Digitally generated patterns ensure every cover is designed with pinpoint precision.
  • Automated cutting technology guarantees accuracy and reduces waste.
  • Expert sewing teams use advanced equipment while upholding the traditional skills that give every product a professional finish.
  • Enhanced quality control ensures every cover is thoroughly checked before dispatch.

This investment means customers can rely on even greater consistency, shorter lead times, and products that are stronger and more durable than ever before.

Smarter Processes, Better Products

At Protec, we believe that better processes mean better products. By combining modern technology with traditional craftsmanship, the brand is raising the bar for what caravan and motorhome covers can deliver.

From the very first design sketch to the final stitch, every step of the journey is now optimised. This attention to detail doesn’t just improve the quality of the covers themselves – it also improves the customer experience, ensuring owners receive products that fit perfectly and perform reliably from day one.

Backed by the Specialised Canvas Group

As part of the Specialised Canvas Group, Protec Covers now has the backing of a wider network of expertise in technical textiles. The Group includes a range of specialist businesses, from large-scale flag and banner manufacturers to bespoke industrial textile producers.

This network allows Protec to tap into a wealth of shared knowledge, cutting-edge materials, and engineering expertise – all of which will feed directly into the next generation of covers.

A Stronger Future for Caravan and Motorhome Owners

For customers, the message is clear: Protec Covers is stronger than ever. While the brand continues to be guided by the same values of quality and service, it now has the resources, facilities, and expertise to go even further.

Looking ahead, Protec will be investing in:

  • New product development to expand the range and introduce innovative features.
  • Sustainability initiatives to reduce waste and explore eco-friendly materials.
  • Improved customer support through better systems and faster response times

The Protec Promise

Despite all the changes behind the scenes, one thing remains constant: Protec Covers’ commitment to the caravan and motorhome community. Every product is still proudly designed and manufactured in the UK, and every customer can expect the same dedication to quality that has built the brand’s reputation.

As Protec embarks on this new chapter, the goal is simple – to give owners greater confidence, protection, and peace of mind, wherever the road takes them.

Protec Covers. Stronger than ever.
