Showtime suggests better times ahead
With fabric sales on an upswing, exhibitors left the semiannual Showtime fabric show here this week with the feeling that the upholstery industry has stabilized and is heading for better times. Fabric is the proverbial canary in the mineshaft, a harbinger of how the industry will do in the months ahead. According to several fabric executives, the gradual increase in orders has led upholstered furniture manufacturers to be more confident in projecting their fabric needs and some are even launching new programs. Several mill execs said traffic was strong in their showrooms, ahead of the past few Showtimes.
Some mills are even beginning to accumulate backlogs and run-ons for certain goods that factories predict will be popular, a step that hasn't been taken in recent times.
