On November 18, 2016, Weavetec, Inc., announced the sale of its decorative home accent division, Simply Home, located in Wytheville, VA to HomTex Weaving LLC of Belton, SC. Simply Home has been a leading supplier of home décor products since 1995. HomTex will continue to offer the same great home accent products under the Simply Home brand while transferring production and customer service to their Belton, SC facility.
In 2010, Simply Home launched its signature “Simply Home Classics” residential fabric line and expanded its offering thru the acquisition of High Point, NC based converter “Santee Fabrics” in 2012. The residential fabric business is NOT included in the sale to HomTex. Weavetec will continue to operate the two fabric lines independently: Simply Home Classics, by Weavetec under the direction of Sales Manager Nick Chmil, and Santee Fabrics, by Weavetec under the direction of Sales Manager Dan Ennis. Weavetec was incorporated in 1987 and is located in upstate South Carolina. Weavetec is an established specialty weaver which produces fabrics for the home décor, upholstery, wallcovering, equestrian, safety apparel and industrial fabric markets.
Effective December 19, 2016, all residential fabric account responsibilities will transfer to the Weavetec team in Blacksburg, SC. All new orders and customer service inquiries should be directed to Laurinda Pennington, Customer Service Manager at the Blacksburg Weaving Plant.
