Stinson

What Stinson does

C.F. Stinson, LLC is a privately held, PE-backed commercial textile manufacturer founded in 1952 and headquartered in Rochester Hills, Michigan. The company designs, produces, and distributes textile solutions across three brands — Stinson (core brand for woven fabrics, coated fabrics, wallcoverings, and wall protection), Anzea (hospitality-focused drapery and window treatments, acquired 2020), and Arc-Com (refined textiles and wallcoverings, acquired 2025) — serving healthcare facilities and commercial interior design specifiers as its two primary vertical segments.

Its core product portfolio spans woven fabrics, coated fabrics (vinyl, non-PVC, silicone), leather, wallcovering, wall protection, privacy curtains, and drapery, with proprietary technology including Hyphyn biodegradable vinyl that decomposes by 98% within two years in landfill conditions and SEAQUAL-sourced recycled marine-plastic yarn. The company holds granted US Patent #7,249,035 and CA #2,450,880 and maintains multiple product-level certifications (OEKO-TEX Standard 100, GREENGUARD Gold, NSF/ANSI 336 FACTS Gold, LBC Red List Free, Healthier Hospitals, NFPA 701) that are particularly relevant for healthcare procurement.

Stinson operates a direct enterprise sales-led GTM model, engaging commercial interior designers, architects, and healthcare facility managers through a field sales force, supplemented by direct orders via the company website and participation in industry trade events such as NeoCon. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales with pricing not publicly disclosed; customers obtain quotes through sales representatives. American Pacific Group (APG) became an investor in April 2024, explicitly supporting a strategy of product portfolio expansion through mergers and acquisitions, of which Arc-Com is the most recent example.
