J. Ennis Fabrics Launches North American Converter Brand ‘Vision Fabrics’ at Showtime
November 16, 2010
ALBERTA, Canada — J. Ennis Fabrics has created a converting business under the Vision Fabrics brand after 10 years of importing container loads of fabrics from China, according to Jim Ennis, CEO.
The 2,500 sku collection of bedding, upholstery and drapery fabrics is available to North American wholesalers on an in-stock basis with generally two days for delivery. It ranges $3.95 - $12.95 per yard with minimums as low as 1/8 yard, according to Ennis.
The line, warehoused in Indianapolis, Indiana will be displayed for the first time at Showtime in High Point December 5 in a 1,200 square-foot showroom, #1-806 in Market Square.
“We started converting out of necessity when the U.S. mills started to disappear,” said Ennis. “We could support ourselves by doing our own collections but more importantly, we could do business with other jobbers in North America.”
