JC Group moves its range of large format digital print textiles for the display graphics market to UFabrik

Print Solutions

JC Group and UFabrik have restructured the group's European route to market for digital textiles. From 1 April 2026, all JC Inkjet private label polyester based roll textiles for the display graphics market from 1.6 to 5.2 metres wide will be sold through UFabrik’s European facility.

The companies are already part of the same group, but this reorganisation creates a single, more uniform identity under the UFabrik brand.

This move strengthens the European offer, giving customers and distributors greater supply certainty, broader product access, and a more stable long term model. It is not just a change in branding or route to market, but a more practical structure that is clearer, stronger, and better aligned with how the market operates today.

The reason for the restructure is straightforward: the market expects more than basic private label supply. Customers and distributors want confidence in what they are using and selling. They need technical support, clear environmental accountability, and a brand that adds value at the point of specification.

UFabrik is better placed to deliver this. It supports the specification process with the health and safety, and environmental credentials now expected, while progressing lifecycle analysis (LCA) accreditation. It also works closely with leading global printer manufacturers, supports on-boarding and colour profiling, and offers consignment stock ordering to improve inventory management for larger direct customers

Put simply, UFabrik gives these products more value in the market. It is a more relevant and commercially effective way to bring them to Europe, while giving customers greater confidence in the long term support behind the range.

Manufacturing of the display graphics products remains within the group, and for existing JC Media customers the move will be jointly managed with the European sales team to ensure a straightforward and disruption free transition. Products specifications, performance, pricing and payment terms will be confirmed, with the established Chinese JC Media team working alongside the European UFabrik team to ensure continuity.  

Customers will have access to the wider range, along with stronger support and improved availability as production scales. In practice, it keeps what already works, while giving customers a more capable supply channel moving forward.

UFabrik has already appointed several new distributors in Europe this year, with several more soon to be announced. For distributors this opens up a wider set of opportunities than with a standard white label relationship. They will have access to a more comprehensive and consolidated textile portfolio, backed by increased manufacturing capacity and stock availability. They will also benefit from a stable long term supply model, while gaining access to a leading textile brand that invests in innovation.

Robin East, UFabrik’s group chief commercial officer, said: ‘The textile market is consolidating, and only the strongest manufacturing brands will hold the dominant positions. That is why we are focusing our efforts on a single product line where we have already made deep investments. Private label business offers no lasting value to the customer. Our strategy is to retain truly competitive pricing while delivering all the added value of a unified brand.’

JC Group’s chairman, BingXin Wang, said: ‘This operational change brings more clarity to the way the group serves Europe. Our production base capabilities remain the same, but the route to market is now more focused and better aligned with customer expectations and distributor requirements. By consolidating our textile roll materials with UFabrik in Europe, we are strengthening the overall portfolio and creating a more expansive platform.’

This announcement comes just before FESPA Barcelona, where the group will be showcasing its integrated materials platform and giving customers a clearer view of the scale, manufacturing capability, and wider expertise behind the business.
