About W & J Knox
W & J Knox makes customised nets and netting in Kilbirnie, Ayrshire. Its aquaculture range includes cage nets, bird nets, predator solutions, sweep and sampling nets, and a net service plant for fish farms. Other products include camouflage nets, sports nets such as backstop, golf practice and goal nets, perimeter and hall divisional netting, and netting for industrial and specialist uses such as filtration sacks. Through manufacturing partners it also supplies lice shields, treatment tarpaulins and wrasse hides, and it is the Scottish and Irish distributor for Framo Lift-Up products.
Customers include fish farming operators, defence buyers, sports facilities, theatres and industrial users who need netting made to a specific purpose. The company sells its nets and netting as manufactured products.
The business traces its origins to a textile mill in Kilbirnie that spun flax and made linen thread; the website states it was first registered as a company in 1778. The current legal entity, W & J Knox Limited, was founded in 2004. Norwegian Selstad Group has been the majority shareholder since 2021.
Product: Customised aquaculture nets (cage, predator, sweep, sampling), sports and camouflage netting, industrial netting, and a fish-farm net service plant.
