NEW YORK—P/Kaufmann Inc., the converter has purchased Jeffrey Fabrics Inc., for an undisclosed price. Since 1987 when it was founded, Jeffrey Fabrics has been a converter of decorative fabrics to the ready-made manufacturers of North America. Jeffrey also manufactures and imports bedding, window coverings, shower curtains, tabletop textiles, and throws. It is understood that Jeffrey principals Jeffrey Erdheim, and Jeffrey Goldman,  are now based in the P/K offices on Park Avenue here in NY. The purchase marks the return of P/Kaufmann into the readymade business. It is expected that P/K can leverage its far-flung vendor base and extensive library of designs to bring a more competitive and diverse product range to the market through Jeffrey. “Both companies are in the process of integrating their respective customer and supplier base and it appears there is a great deal of synergies and growth prospects for everyone involved,” an informed source told F&FI. No other comments were forthcoming from either company. It is reported that Jeffrey Fabrics has an annual sales volume in the $30 million range but this figure has not been confirmed by the principals in the deal. The ‘Jeffreys’ now maintain offices at the P/K Park Avenue headquarters in New York City. In addition, the pair have opened two new showrooms at 230 Fifth Avenue, New York while closing its showroom at 261 Fifth Avenue. Jeffrey anticipates having a larger showroom combining the total space of the currently separate showrooms when it is available at 230 Fifth.
