The pictures display the EXTEX onboard in all its glory – a few of which you can see on these very pages – and we’re proud to have been involved! Congratulations Neil!

EXTEX Outline graces the decks for the launch of the new Princess V85 at the London Boat Show
10 Jan 2008
Princess Yachts International consolidates their faith in the EXTEX range of outdoor furnishing fabrics by upholstering all the exterior seating and sunpads of their new V85 for its launch at this year's London Boat Show (ExCel Exhibition Centre, 11th – 20th January 2008). Princess Yachts has chosen EXTEX-Outline Pebble for the fixed seating areas, a bold departure from the white vinyl which has traditionally been used on the outdoor areas of all their motoryachts. EXTEX fabric is the perfect companion to Princess’ V Class sports yachts: dynamic design resulting in stunning good looks, teamed with practicality, comfort, luxury and high performance... with all of that in common, the V85 and EXTEX were seemingly made for each other!
Marina Mill announces a forthcoming addition to the EXTEX range of outdoor furnishing fabrics
15 Dec 2007
Marina Mill has announced that it is in the final stages of development of a new outdoor furnishing fabric which will be officially launched in Spring 2008. The new fabric has been designed with chic refinement in mind, being described as a ‘modern classic with a shimmery, almost metallic appearance”. Designed to complement the already popular Mull and Outline fabrics, the new collection will be the first non-chenille in the EXTEX range, an exciting new development which has already seen loyal customers desperate for prototype samples. But in typical Marina Mill fashion, the new fabric will not be allowed out of the Mill doors until it has been tweaked to perfection... WATCH THIS SPACE!
