Flock & Textiles in Wellington was born by Jack Willis making wadding for the bedding industry.
Mick Willis, son of Jack Willis moved to Auckland from Wellington with some machinery to open the Auckland factory at 230 Marua Road where Textile Products was born continuing to make wadding for bedding.
In 1964, Mick bought and built in Miami Parade, relocating all production and the four employees, including himself. Three years later, a needle punch machine was purchased.
Cutting machinery was purchased to streamline the manufacturing process.
Enter Bob Willis, 1985, son of Mick Willis, ditching his previous career as an Automotive Engineer to keep his hand clean!
Many new products were introduced for the Furniture, Bedding and Clothing industries. The use of polyester staple fiber was introduced to make pillow fill, spray glue and thermally bonded lofted waddings.
