What Pindler does

Pindler & Pindler, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned wholesale distributor of exclusive decorative fabrics and trims, founded in 1947 and headquartered in Moorpark, California. Now in its third generation of Pindler-family leadership, the company specializes in curating and distributing upholstery fabrics, performance textiles, indoor/outdoor collections, and decorative trims to interior design professionals serving residential, commercial, and hospitality projects across the United States and select international markets. It self-positions as the largest wholesale distributor of exclusive upholstery fabric west of the Mississippi.

The company's product portfolio is anchored by exclusive collections developed in partnership with brand-name fabric manufacturers — notably Sunbrella, Crypton, and Pendleton — alongside designer collaborations including the Max Humphrey Collection. Proprietary lines such as Cabana, Botanica, Heritage, Atelier, Platinum, Villa, Sunbelievable, Global Influence, and Mini Prints complement these brand partnerships. Pindler operates a multi-channel B2B distribution architecture consisting of 35 outside sales representatives, 16 company-owned showrooms, and 19 national and international agent showrooms. The trade website provides fabric and trim search functionality behind a login-gated account portal, and a dedicated Hospitality service category targets hotels, restaurants, and commercial interiors.

Pindler generates revenue through wholesale B2B sales of decorative fabrics and trims at prices disclosed only to authenticated trade accounts. Its go-to-market combines relationship-driven direct sales coverage, physical showroom experience, and a digital catalog portal — a model that has supported 79+ years of continuous private operation. The company has no external investors, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds, operating as an independent, family-controlled specialty distributor with deep trade-channel relationships rather than mass-market consumer distribution.
