about abecca updated

About Abecca

Abecca are best described as designers, innovators and manufacturers who consistently forefront quality. Our experience with textile fabric started in 1952 when Mr David Beatson returned from World War II and started a business supplying and repairing horse and cow covers using canvas fabric.

 

Fast forward 70+ years, and Beatson’s descendants now manage a team of experts manufacturing safe furniture for a range of environments. While our safe furniture isn’t covered in canvas, the same principles of working with fabric apply, so you can count on our decades of experience and knowledge to produce outstanding results.

 

With the fourth generation still actively managing the business, we are family-owned through and through. Watch our video to learn more.
