About Us

Putting 40 years of experience to work for you

Founded in 1970 by Charles Summers, Diversitex began as a jobber and converter of industrial fabrics. The company soon expanded into military and apparel, quickly establishing itself as a major supplier of camouflage around the world. The company continued its growth with the addition of home furnishings in the 1990s, becoming a leader in the fast-growing casual furniture sector of the market.

After 40 years, the company remains owned and operated by the Summers family, upholding the same high standards as its founder in supplying quality fabrics at the best possible prices.

Diversitex holds a unique position in the industry, blending technical know-how with a customer-focused approach to deliver the just right fabric for any application. Its focus on domestically crafted product and relationships with leading mills translates into a broad product selection and fast delivery times.
