Our Story
Surfaceskins Limited was born from a collaboration between the textile product and process development specialists Nonwovens Innovation & Research Institute Ltd. (NIRI) and a team of industrial design consultants, Simon Scott-Harden (ZELOcreative) and Adam Walker (Lensnectar).
Where it all started
One of the team was visiting a surgery, when they noticed how dirty the door plates were. This sparked the idea for a simple, low-cost, retro-fit, antibacterial fitting for doors.
Hundreds of prototypes later the Surfaceskins door pushpad was launched. The Surfaceskins range of products has been developed by a team combining experienced business acumen, technical expertise and healthcare sector knowledge.
Designed, developed and manufactured in the UK
After many years development, we are very proud to manufacture this in the UK and have a dedicated production facility.
