What TRI-KES does

TRI-KES, operating commercially as Momentum Textiles & Wallcoverings ('Momentum'), is a US-headquartered (Irvine, California) privately held supplier of architectural and interior design materials, founded in 1993 with 101–250 employees. The company sells a unified portfolio of high-design, high-performance commercial interior products spanning five core categories: Upholstery (coated textiles, silicone, and performance fabrics), Wallcovering (Type II, PVC-free, specialty, and bio-based Circon solutions), Acoustics (distributed under exclusive US/Canada rights for Autex Acoustics), Wall Protection (P3TEC systems), and Drapery & Sheers. Proprietary innovations include Silica — marketed as the world's first 100% silicone textile — alongside integrated architectural systems delivered through a partnership with B+N Industries. Target end markets are commercial specifiers serving Workplace, Healthcare, Hospitality, and Education interiors, with Senior Living as a secondary vertical.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market: enterprise field sales with dedicated representatives connect customers from specification through purchasing, supported by physical showroom locations, an e-commerce site featuring AI Text Search and AI Image Search for product discovery, and an online outlet store. Pricing is handled through direct sales engagement under multi-year commercial contracts rather than public listings, consistent with B2B specification-driven selling. Notable recent strategic activity includes a flagship collaboration with designer Michael Ford (awarded Best of NeoCon 2026 Gold in Textiles: Upholstery and Designer: HiP for Greater Good), continuous line extensions to Silica and a new Performance woven wallcovering collection, and the exclusive Autex Acoustics partnership extending the company into the acoustic solutions vertical. Financial information including revenue, ownership structure, and headcount trend is not publicly disclosed.
