What Norbar Fabrics does

Norbar Fabrics Company is a privately-held B2B textile and trim distributor headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida (7670 N.W. 6th Ave), operating under founder David Neufeldt as Owner and President. The company sells an extensive catalog of more than 80 fabric collections spanning upholstery, velvets, drapery, performance, outdoor, linens, embroideries, jacquards, satins, prints and stripes, sheers, textured blackout, vinyls, and genuine leather — supplemented by complementary pillow inserts (polyester, feather, outdoor) and decorative trims (tassels, fringe, beaded trim, gimp, cord). Underlying technology consists of a trade-facing e-commerce platform with Virtual Flip Books that organize the catalog by fabric category for digital browsing and sample request workflows.

The company serves three primary trade segments: interior designers and decorators, furniture manufacturers, and commercial contractors, with end applications in residential upholstery, commercial furniture, hospitality, healthcare, and educational design projects. Distribution operates through direct trade sales representatives and an authorized wholesale dealer/reseller network across the United States, with current geographic focus on the Southeast US region.

Norbar's revenue model is wholesale B2B distribution with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing. Customers access the company via a credit application workflow offering Proforma, COD, NET 30, or credit card terms, with multi-year purchasing relationships incentivized through a sample book program that charges a $50 processing fee and rebates that amount once a customer reaches $500 in cumulative orders within a year. The company employs between 11 and 50 people, has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no public listing. No revenue, headcount trend, or founding date is publicly disclosed in available sources.

Direct peers

• Fabricut: Multi-line wholesale fabric and trim distributor serving interior designers, decorators, and furniture manufacturers across upholstery, drapery, and specialty categories. Directly overlaps Norbar's core categories including velvet, performance, outdoor, and decorative trim.
• Maxwell Fabrics: Canadian to-the-trade fabric distributor with broad upholstery, drapery, sheers, and outdoor collections sold primarily to designers in North America. Similar B2B positioning and SKU breadth across comparable fabric categories.
• JF Fabrics: North American wholesaler of decorative fabrics, trims, and drapery hardware to interior designers and the contract market. Comparable to-to-the-trade model and broad assortment across upholstery and drapery.
• Trend Fabrics: Wholesale decorative fabric supplier offering upholstery, drapery, and trim lines to designers and decorators across the US. Overlaps directly with Norbar in the to-the-trade distribution model and core fabric categories.
• Stroheim & Romann: Specialty decorative-fabric house distributing fabrics, trims, and wallcoverings through interior designers and decorators. Direct channel and category overlap with Norbar, especially in drapery, embroidery, and traditional upholstery.
• Pindler & Sons: US-based distributor of decorative fabrics, trims, and home textiles specifically serving interior designers and decorators through to-the-trade channels and showrooms. Catalog breadth and customer mix closely mirror Norbar's.

Broad incumbents

• Kravet: Largest US distributor of decorative fabrics, trims, furniture, and wallcoverings to interior designers; competes with Norbar in the same to-the-trade channels. Significantly broader catalog and global brand presence, but overlap is direct on the upholstery, drapery, and trim collections that anchor Norbar's business.
• Robert Allen Contract / Duralee: Major to-the-trade fabric and home furnishings brand portfolio serving designers and the contract/hospitality market. Strong overlap with Norbar's upholstery, drapery, performance, and trim collections, but with deeper international sourcing and a much larger showroom footprint.

Emerging players

• Home Fabric Outlet / Online Fabric Store: Online-first decorative and upholstery fabric retailer selling piece goods and notions direct to consumers and small trade buyers. Adjacent model to Norbar's e-commerce site, but skewed toward DIY/home-sewing rather than to-the-trade.

Regional players

• Clarke & Clarke: UK-based decorative fabric and wallcovering brand distributed through designers in North America. Comparable in category breadth (prints, weaves, velvets, sheers) but primarily reaches the US through showrooms and selected distributors rather than its own retail operation.
