TEXARKANA, Texas — Mayo Mfg. Corp. is a 50-year-old upholstery maker which has co-branded Revolution Performance Fabric on its website. “It’s hard for me to talk about Brentwood without mentioning STI,” says Patrick Mayo, President. “When STI purchased Brentwood, they were able to combine the best of both companies. First, and most importantly, the people are great. Every successful fabric mill has a very close team at its core. When STI purchased Brentwood, they basically extended their family to include Perry, Kathy, and a number of other important members that contribute to a great product line.” “Secondly, they combined STI’s ability to produce a highly valuable product quickly and a new twist with Kathy’s designs. Most people in the industry know Glen Read and his contribution to STI. Kathy is the equivalent at Brentwood. “In my opinion, she is one of the best with textures and color on solid base cloths. Almost half of the base cloths we selected this season are Kathy’s.” “Brentwood has become a valuable supplier to Mayo Furniture because they pass our simple criteria: Does the product sell? Does it hold up? Can they deliver? Are they honest? The answer to all of these questions for Brentwood is ‘yes.’” “Another important question for Mayo is: Do they make their fabric in the USA? Most of the sku’s we run from Brentwood are made in the USA. They do have a great lineup of goods produced in Turkey and other places, but we choose ‘made in the USA’ first before we consider other options.” “The most important reason that Brentwood is a valued supplier to Mayo Furniture is their ability to produce base cloths that should cost twice as much as they do. Brentwood is extending a higher end look to the middle and lower cost manufacturers without sacrificing quality.”
