40 years experience in the industry

Innovation, Quality and Service

Established in 1981, Cobra is a family run company now in its fourth generation. Innovation, quality and service have allowed Cobra to develop a strong reputation as a leading manufacturer of braiding machinery.

Cobra manufactures and supplies braiding machines and equipment to a wide range of markets including heavy vehicles, aerospace, medical, engineering, and narrow fabrics. 95% of the braiding machines Cobra manufactures are exported overseas to countries such as the USA, Mexico, Europe, China, Japan, and Australia. Cobra takes great pride in every machine that leaves the factory for all export markets. Our customer base ranges from the Fortune 500, Japanese multinationals, European international companies, employee-owned businesses to owner-managed companies. Cobra‘s experience in overseas markets gives us the tools to make shipping to our customers easier and simpler.

In April 2021 Cobra Braiding Machinery was the proud recipient of the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise, honoured with the award for International Trade. Cobra is one of 205 organisations in the United Kingdom to be recognised with this business award and has been recognised for its growth in international sales which represents 95% of our sales.
