Clarkson’s becomes the second coating plant within the group and will work closely with Mobus Sian Shaoxing in China,” says Lee Maxman, Mobus MD.
“This will enable Mobus to offer customers global access to OEKO-TEX certified FR upholstery fabrics and finishings to domestic and contract classifications,” he says.
