PROFILE |
 |
For Deveaux, nothing is frivolous -- it's all material. The textile company makes knitted and woven fabrics for the consumer and industrial markets. Its solid, printed, and yarn-dyed fabrics are used in sportswear, private-label apparel, and household linens. While fabrics is its major line, Deveaux also produces its own Cacharel brand of household linens, towels, and related products. Deveaux has been re-evaluating its product lines after it suffered a drop in sales in 1999 -- the first such decline in 20 years. Deveaux makes its products in France, but exports account for more than 70% of sales. Company directors Frederique Von Tschammer Und Quaritz and Rodolph Deveaux together control about 53% of Deveaux.
