Sunbrella Story Brochure

Page 1


In 1961, we pioneered performance fabrics.

Before there was Sunbrella®, awnings were made from cotton. But cotton can’t stand up to outdoor environments for long. Our fabrics offered people the look and feel they wanted, while providing revolutionary durability, fade resistance and cleanability for years of beautiful use.

Since then, we’ve been synonymous with performance, from outdoor and indoor upholstery, to marine and beyond. And we’re not done yet.

At Sunbrella, performance is about more than just fabric.

Performance is about showing up, in every possible way. It’s about service, partnership and trust that extends well beyond a sale. It is also about fabric—but at the core, it’s about what that fabric can do for people. It’s how that fabric makes you feel and how it lets you live.

Our beliefs guide everything we do.

COMPLETE PERFORMANCE

At Sunbrella, performance starts at the fiber level—and that goes far beyond fabric. We go above and beyond for our customers and consumers, from the fabrics and products we’re known for to the best-in-class service we provide.

BRING VISIONS TO LIFE

At our core, we’re creative partners. We’re equipped with global design and manufacturing expertise, and we’re motivated to help people make their dreams a reality—and help our partners achieve all that they envision.

MAKE THE BEST, BETTER.

We’re never satisfied, because we realize the best can be better. We’re always improving our offerings, developing new fabrics and technologies, and strengthening our capabilities and partnerships.

ALL IN FOR THE LONG RUN.

We’re constantly working to lessen our impact on the planet. From sustainable manufacturing practices to the inherent longevity of our fabrics, we see our products as part of a global effort to create more intentionally.
