What Intex does

Intex – International Textiles is a US-headquartered, family-owned textile company founded in 1962 that produces and distributes premium fabrics to the interior design trade. The company is based in Simi Valley, California, operates a US warehouse, and serves professional interior designers, decorators, and hospitality designers globally through direct, quote-based sales. It employs 11-50 people and has remained independently and family-owned for over 60 years, with no external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries disclosed.

The company's product is a deep, in-house-designed fabric catalog spanning silk (Amalfi Taffeta, Como Dupioni, Everest Herringbone), linen (Santa Barbara solid, Burlap Oatmeal), cotton matelasse, bamboo-linen blends (Reno), polyester taffeta/shantung (FR-tested to NFPA 701), sheers, hand embroideries, hand block prints, and contemporary designs. Core technical capabilities are craft-intensive: handwoven construction, hand embroidery, hand block printing, and an in-house design team producing every SKU. Quality control is operationalized as roll-by-roll individual inspection in the US warehouse before shipment, and partner mills are required to recycle inks and avoid hazardous waste.

The business model is wholesale B2B with no e-commerce; pricing is quote-based and obtained by inquiry. Revenue is generated through one-time fabric sales to designer and hospitality accounts. Distribution is direct from the US warehouse worldwide, supported by phone, email, Instagram, and WhatsApp channels and a website structured as a catalog (with recent additions of a Customizations section and a Sale category). Customer concentration, revenue figures, and management identities are not publicly disclosed.
