An Taoiseach Mr. Sean Lemass opened Westport Textiles on the 2nd of October 1963. The factory at the time provided up to 140 jobs with 240 looms working 24 hours a day to produce 9 million yards of cloth per year.

On Saturday the 22nd of March 1969 a fire at the factory left the now 154 workers unemployed. For such a small town it was a major blow. The Board of Directors announced on the 3rd of April 1969 that they would rebuild the factory in Westport. The new £1 million factory opened less than two years after the disaster in 1971. Local enterprise and the determination of the skilled Westport workforce succeeded in having the factory rebuilt on the same site. The wealth of craftsmanship available in Westport was the motivating factor in the decision to continue to produce textiles. The factory could now be counted among the most modern and up to date plants of its kind in the world.


In October 1980 the Minister of Industry announced that a Danish Company would be taking over Westport Textiles. The company called Northern Feather Limited, which made cloth for use in the manufacture of continental quilts, went into production in the Westport factory in November 1980.

Northern feather was founded in 1901 and, at the time of the takeover owned factories in sixteen countries and was one of the few European companies with a factory in the United States of America. Its products included continental quilts, bed linen, pillows and leisurewear. These were exported mainly to Europe but also throughout the world.

The Danish parent company closed in 1990 and the Westport plant was subject to a management buyout. The companies acquired were Northern Feather (Textile) Ltd and Northern Feather (Ireland) Ltd. The new company continued to trade under the name Northern Feather. The company quickly became a fully integrated plant producing finished natural duvets and pillows and also bed linen. Since then it has added the synthetic duvet and pillow lines, as well as mattress protectors, to its range.
