Nordic Fabric A/S

What Nordic Fabric A/S does

Nordic Fabric A/S is a Danish family-owned B2B textile supplier founded in 1970, headquartered in Solrød Strand, Denmark, with a warehouse facility in Herning, Denmark. The company supplies fabrics to the furniture industry across three product categories: Upholstery, Bedding, and Outdoor, with the Upholstery line representing the largest assortment. Materials in the range include Italian wool, linen, velvet, recycled polypropylene, and recycled polyester, with fabric properties such as Martindale abrasion ratings disclosed to indicate durability for contract and residential use.

The company's product portfolio features proprietary finishing technologies, most notably EasyClean stain-resistant treatment, along with foam lamination capability for upholstered components. All fabrics are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I certified and PFC-free, addressing sustainability and indoor-air-quality requirements demanded by contemporary furniture manufacturers and end clients. Distribution is handled through a European warehouse network, supplemented by a distributor relationship with Beacon Intex in Korea, signaling a deliberate push into Asian markets. A manufacturing partnership with Italian producer Velvetex Srl supports product quality and sourcing.

Nordic Fabric operates a B2B wholesale model, selling directly to furniture manufacturers as its primary customer base, with the contract market (hospitality, public space, marine) as a secondary segment. The company is privately held by the Normann family (Peter and Lone Normann) and has operated for over 50 years without external funding. The company exhibits at industry trade shows such as Proposte, indicating a brand-led, relationship-driven go-to-market approach typical of European specialty textile wholesalers.
