Craig first learned the craft of installing fabric on the walls while working at a local drapery company in Sacramento, CA. in 1982, right after high school  After moving on and doing a tour in the  U.S. Navy Seabees and traveling the world, he came home and still had a yearning to create the most user friendly Fabric wall finishing system available to all.  Little did he know then that his plans to simply do bedrooms and small office walls would lead to something bigger. With lots of hard work and many great people  along the way, things grew over the years. After expanding from small residential projects to much larger commercial and education projects, things grew at a rapid pace.  Since then Fabricmate Systems has  grown to become the go-to global supplier and educator of fabric wall finishing systems to many around the world. 

Here Craig is working away on a Fabricmate sample in his small garage in the early days of 1988. Every since, Fabricmate has been working hard to make the best stretched-fabric wall systems available to make your living, learning and working environments, a little more enjoyable. Although our products can now be found in numerous fortune 500 companies, top education campuses and major projects worldwide, they are still installed in many bedrooms and small offices around the world , staying close to our roots. 

Being a Solutions Company, our products have taken on a wide range of solutions that are aesthetically pleasing, acoustical, tackable, wall protection, and thermally insulative. Our Fabric Wall Systems are engineered for ease of installation, which means a short learning curve, quick installation time, and unparalleled support.
