"Sunbury has been a close strategic business partner for more than 20 years," said Allen E Gant, Jr, chairman and CEO of Glen Raven in a press release by the company. "Sunbury's leadership in serving the designer, decorative jobber and furniture manufacturers with premium jacquard fabrics is unparalleled. Every Sunbury customer is important to us and represents an opportunity to combine resources and be better suppliers and business partners."

"We have long considered Sunbury to be part of the extended Glen Raven family, and we are excited about working with them to further service all of their markets and customers," Gant added.

Sunbury's team specialises in innovative decorative jacquard upholstery fabrics targeting the design community and luxury furniture manufacturers, for both residential and contract applications.  Sunbury’s designers create bespoke collections, focusing on inspirational patterns, innovative constructions and leading colour trends. The company's product lines include Sunbrella fabrics, which it designs and produces under an exclusive license with Glen Raven.
