Overview of Company Specializations:
Most people know Glen Raven through the flagship brands, Sunbrella and Dickson, two global leaders in performance-rich fabrics. When it comes to premium quality for commercial and residential awnings, marine exterior and interior fabrics, convertible car tops, casual and residential furniture, and market umbrellas, consumers the world over recognize the superior durability and quality of a product made with a Sunbrella or Dickson fabric.
Through a global marketing and sales strategy, Sunbrella has become the more requested fabrics for awning and marine applications in the world. At our one-million-square-foot facility, our fabric development teams are supported by integrated, next-generation manufacturing processes. Because of its styling sophistication, ease of cleaning, and fade resistance, Sunbrella is a popular consumer choice for both outside and inside applications.
The Dickson brand became part of glen Raven in 19098 when Dickson, S.A. and Glen Raven merged. Dickson has long maintained a dominant brand presence in sun protection fabrics throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. With the addition of Dickson’s business relationships, Glen Raven now has a significant customer base in more than 100 countries. While the Sunbrella and Dickson brands are associated with sun protection fabrics, this merger added other technical products to the Glen Raven products family: printable sign fabrics, tents, protective apparel, and numerous other industrial applications. With its international expertise in jacquard and dobby weaving, Dickson has also allowed us to enter new domestic markets such as residential and industrial upholstery.
GLEN RAVEN: In addition to two flagship brands, Glen Raven produces a wide range of industrial and specialized fabrics for a diverse group of applications. In the area of performance apparel products, we have created numerous fabrics and fabric finishes integral to the performance of active wear for hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Products made with Microsuede and Repelzz help keep people drier, warmer, and safer during a full range of outdoor activities. For people that need protection from more than the elements, our GlenGuard, brand of fabrics provides the vital protection needed by workers in gas/oil, electric utility and medical industries. Whatever the industry, whatever the need, we have a fabric that will enable you to do your job safely and to live your life more comfortably.
