You won’t want to miss Sunbrella Extract, an oil-based stain remover that draws out the toughest, most set-in grease and oil-based stains for quick and easy removal. This new product from Sunbrella leaves fabrics looking like new, and an easy two-step process takes only 10 minutes for results.

Specially formulated for deep-down fiber penetration, Sunbrella Extract targets stain and debris particles, capturing and lifting them to the surface. Just spray, wait 10 minutes, then vacuum the dry powder away.

Sunbrella Extract, available in a 5-oz. metal can, is a non-PFAS cleaning product option. It has been tested and approved for use on all Sunbrella fabrics, with the exception of Horizon^® marine vinyl. The product is also safe for use on most other water-safe fabrics, though it should always be spot tested before use on non-Sunbrella fabrics.

We are equal parts thrilled and proud to share that Keith Purves has been promoted to Business Development and Training Manager for Trivantage. In his new role, our long-time outside sales representative in Florida will focus on expanding our portfolio of products and leading internal and external product application training.

Keith joined Trivantage in 2013 after a 20-year career operating his family business, Riverside Covers, a custom marine canvas shop. He is a current chair of Marine Fabricators Association (MFA), longtime member of Advanced Textiles Association (ATA), and was honored with the 2022 Outstanding Volunteer Award from the industry organizations.

According to Bret Kelley, vice president of sales for Trivantage: “Not only has Keith been highly successful in his sales position, but his unique skill sets and expertise as a fabricator have made him a highly valued resource and problem-solver for our customers and a training resource for our team.”

During the transition period, Keith will continue to work closely with customers as we work to fill the open outside sales position.

Please join us in congratulating Keith on his new position, and if you have not yet met him, your sales representative would be happy to facilitate an introduction for a conversation on how to solve a problem you may be having.

When Faith Roberts, owner of Banner Canvas in Ham Lake, Minnesota, left bridal design in 1986 to pursue a career in marine fabrication, she sought out an industry expert for advice. That’s when she met the late Bob Weldon, former branch manager at Trivantage.

“Bob was a wonderful friend and mentor,” Roberts recalled. “He did a lot for me and for our industry.” In the early days, when Roberts had a question about dying fabrics or where to find a finishing company, Weldon was ready with an answer: “I could always rely on Bob to help me figure out a problem.”

Roberts has worked in the marine fabrication industry for more than 40 years, but perhaps her most impressive accolade is that she purchased the company she worked for — and her current company, Banner Canvas — after only a year of experience. “When the owners were ready to sell, they thought I had the right talent to take over and keep the brand name strong,” she said.

Roberts built her robust clientele solely through word of mouth, noting: “Potential customers would approach me because they had seen my work at their friends’ houses.” When asked how she provides value to her customers, she explained the importance of technicality. “You have to understand the products and how one product is better for a certain location and project than another,” she said. “This comes with an understanding of the market and fabric engineering.”

When asked what makes a good supplier, Roberts emphasized the importance of relationships and drew parallels to her partnership with Trivantage.

“The truly best suppliers invest their time and develop a long-term relationship — I know I can call them if I have any questions,” she said. “Bob was a true partner and did not view our customer relationship as transactional.”

Today, Roberts relies on Trivantage account representative T.J. McGillis, who has guided her through several projects. She also turned to Trivantage to outfit a 30-foot slipper launch, a traditional Thames River pleasure boat. It was fabricated with Sunbrella^® marine fabric in Ivy and Hemlock Tweed.

For more information on how Trivantage can assist with your next project, contact your sales representative, shop trivantage.com, or call us at 800-786-1876. Be sure to contact your sales representative and share your story with us and we may include it in a future Market Corner.
