TVF was founded 50 years ago, and providing solutions when you need fabric – the right fabric for your specific end use – remains our mission. Over the years, the textile world, the global economy, and the demands of manufacturers, printers, and makers have changed tremendously. TVF’s customer-focused and solutions-centered approach, however, remains a cornerstone of who we are.
As we embark on our sixth decade in fabrics, we wanted to take a deeper look into what makes TVF so trusted by so many for so long. At the core, our mission remains what it has for 50 years: we are problem solvers:
More options than you can shake a stick at
Our fabric selection and innovations have bloomed over five decades. We started with cotton canvas and our footprint has grown to four divisions (industrial, apparel, home décor, and print media) and thousands of options. Our customers range from tarp manufacturers to makers of more sustainable wrapping paper to Hollywood clothing printers to lifesavers like medical devices and gear for first responders.
Real-world experience
TVF’s team is loaded with experts who have been there. From sales consultants who have worked in mills and dye houses, to experts with experience in industries ranging from cut-and-sew and printing, to employee-owners who have worked with our customers for 20 years or more. We can help because we can relate.
We travel the globe for you, literally
Our domestic and global connections are legendary. The deep, longterm relationships we forge with every corner of the industry – mills, dye houses, shippers, finishing houses, and beyond – ensure we can find a fabric, answers, and ultimately a solution for your unique application. Whether it’s one of our thousands of stock fabric options or a custom solution, TVF is built to help you.
Our advantages are yours
With three U.S. locations and a modernized shipping, tracking, and operations infrastructure, our logistical advantages mean your rolls arrive on-time the way you ordered.
Consistency is the secret sauce
Ask our repeat customers about their impression of fabrics delivered by TVF and the most common reaction is: consistency. Our team’s collaboration with sources, testing capabilities, and high-quality control standards ensure the fabric you purchase will sew, print, cut, form, protect, and drape the way you expect.
