 PROFILE
Quaker Fabric would profit if more people were couch potatoes. As one of the world's largest makers of jacquard upholstery fabrics the company has a vested interest in lounging. (Jacquard fabrics are woven with complex designs and manufactured on special looms.) The company also produces chenille yarns for use in its own fabrics and for other manufacturers. Its upholstery fabrics -- which come in thousands of colors, textures, patterns, and styles -- account for about 90% of company sales. Quaker Fabric sells its yarns and fabrics to more than 3,000 furniture makers and exports to more than 40 countries. Company brands include Quaker, Ankyra, and Whitaker. About 85% of its fabrics are produced to customer order.
