 Patons
William Paton Limited was founded at Johnstone in Scotland in 1840 by the twenty-one year old entrepreneur William Paton at the height of the Industrial Revolution. Paton began by meeting the local demand for hemp rope and moved on to the manufacture of cotton rope and a range of tapes. Before laces became the standard shoe fastener, Patons made elastic webbing for boots. Gradually the firm began to concentrate on the manufacture of boot laces before patenting a plaited fabric lace that would ultimately displace the traditional leather product.
Patons is the largest UK manufacturer of footwear laces and insoles. William Paton Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Punch group in 1990, allowing us to offer a fully integrated range to both the trade and consumers.
The manufacturing facilities at these premises include:
- Laces & Insoles:
- Braiding, cutting and packing of a range of colours and sizes.
