Back in 1999 if you wanted a bespoke broadloom Axminister you would have to order a minimum of 300m², be prepared to wait eight to ten weeks for production and pay a premium price for the privilege.

At the turn of the new millennium and the advent of high speed computerised jacquard weaving technology, all of this changed. At the forefront of these advaces Gaskell Mackay developed a unique manufacturing programme based on six key principles.

• Minimum order quantities of 20m²
• Production lead times of no more than six weeks
• Manufactured width of 4.0m
• Qualities to suit every type of end use
• Competitive pricing driven by manufacturing excellence
• Absolute freedom of design

The realisation of these advances was the launch in 2000 of the Infinity Axminster programme. This innovative product met all of the above criteria by allowing customers access to thousands of designs and by using the original standard 16 colour palette the ability to create bespoke interiors without the historic draw backs. Since Infinity was launched Gaskell Mackay have continued to invest in their development and today its customers are able to select from four individual palettes.

Above all Gaskell Mackay continue to invest in the creation of stunning design. With the unique freedom the Infinity programme enables us to create everything from one-off abstract rugs to the most intricate of chlidema installations. To showcase these design innovations Gaskell Mackay regularly publish collections of designs reflecting current trends across a multitude of market sectors from hospitality and leisure through to public buildings and corporate offices. These collections along with selected designs from our impressive archives can be viewed by clicking on the product brochures below.
