vehicles, "The lighter the fabric, the better
the vehicle's performance," he says.
People are also looking for options
offering a degree of customization when
it comes to color, comfort level, noise
reduction, specialty trim and so on,
requiring the company to stay well in front
of emerging trends, Kurz explains.
"We've expanded our dyeing and
finishing capabilities and can create colors
across the spectrum we can customize for
a manufacturer," he says. "Manufacturers
are also looking to reduce costs and in
response, Apex Mills is working with
advanced fiber manufacturers that offer
fire resistance at a lower price."
And because the pricing of eco-friendly
textiles is higher, the company is also
exploring various options, working with
fiber manufacturers to lower the costs of
recycled and sustainable textiles.
AFTERMARKET ACTIVITY
Ask Dee M. Duncan Jr., CEO of Keyston
Bros. Inc., how the recession affected
his company and he'll tell you business
was great, at least for the company's
automotive market. The Roswell, Ga.,
wholesale fabric distributor provides
interior aftermarket product for vehicles,
with trim shops comprising its primary
customers. (For those unfamiliar, trim
shops will do things like repair ripped
seats, replace flooring or headliners,
or customize vehicle interiors.) Other
markets the company serves are marine,
outdoor, contract and furniture.
"In 2007 and 2008 people stopped buying
cars," he explains. "They were keeping them
a lot longer and fixing them up, so that was
very good for us. But the last three years have
gotten a little weaker, because now people
are buying cars. However, over the last 12
months this has slowed down a bit so we're
seeing an uptick."
Keyston Bros. is also noticing more
customization, with people upgrading or
enhancing their interiors. What Duncan
