Trivantage has launched a new look to the Market Corner blog, complete with new features designed to enhance your overall experience with our monthly marketing newsletter and streamline access to information on new products, design expertise, Awning Composer^® tutorials, and much more.

From a design standpoint, the blog’s modern look is more responsive than ever before and can be accessed on any device, including mobile. The URL – www.trivantage.com/blog – is more user-friendly, and we think you will agree the new layout also is easier to navigate. Just click on the photo, headline or “Read more” links in each post to access the full article or keep scrolling for an at-a-glance look at recent posts.

New features include a “Filter By” tab for ease of finding topics of interest to you and your customers. You also can do a keyword search (located top-right) and content featuring the keywords entered will be returned. In addition, the blog is now on an “infinite scroll,” meaning as you scroll to the bottom, more articles will appear rather than having to navigate from page to page. Topics also can be accessed by clicking on the tags in any article on the main blog page or within individual articles.

Each issue of Market Corner includes fresh, timely content delivered to your inbox. Our goal is to be a resource for you and our newsletter is part of our commitment to provide you with even greater access to content developed with your business in mind. Please contact your sales representative at any time with your questions or comments on Market Corner, including news and information you would like to see featured.

We would like to share two video updates with you: Awning Composer™, our ultimate software solution for awning fabricators, and a final message from IFAI Expo on how, after all we’ve collectively managed in the last two years, there’s nothing quite like being together.

Awning Composer is an easy-to-use rendering software designed to move projects to production in half the time. As Mark Stiver, Director of eCommerce for Trivantage explains in this video, the idea is as simple as the promise: Instead of asking customers to imagine an awning, the software allows you to show it to them.

We value your input, which is why our customer care teams stand ready to help you every step of the way. As sales representative Hofler Williams noted at the Expo, let’s continue to work together to build our partnership.

To see how Trivantage is committed to exceptional service, hassle-free ordering, and having the largest inventory and product availability for the industries we serve, please contact your sales representative, shop on trivantage.com, or call us at 800-786-1876.

Our parent company Glen Raven has updated its Corporate Sustainability Report highlighting the progress the company, including Trivantage, has made on sustainability goals introduced in 2019 that encourage us to think differently and more ambitiously about how Glen Raven can be a better corporate citizen.

You may recall that Glen Raven’s sustainability ambitions are organized around two pillars – Supporting associates and communities and sustaining our planet. The updated report includes metrics demonstrating the company’s pattern of good for both pillars. In terms of energy management, all Trivantage facilities are 100% powered by certified renewable electricity, as are Glen Raven facilities in France and China and Glen Raven Logistics facilities.

Please take a moment and read the report and learn how Glen Raven has set a high bar for its sustainability goals, as well as how Trivantage and other company business units share a vision of a more sustainable world and prosperous communities.

The results are in and the responses were overwhelming. Thank you to everyone who completed our Market Corner survey to let us know how we can enhance our monthly e-newsletter and blog to better serve you. Your input was invaluable to ensure Trivantage® provides you with information you find relevant to strengthen your business and better serve your customers.

Sixty-five percent of respondents indicated they were most interested in product information, and this issue highlights three products to keep in mind for spring and summer projects. This also is the first issue of Market Corner in a new template designed to keep the newsletter fresh and top-of-mind in your inbox. Our goal is to be a resource for you and our newsletter is part of our commitment to provide you with even greater access to content developed with your business in mind.

We’ve also refreshed our social pages; click on the following to access: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn. If you haven’t done so already, be sure to follow us and share details of your projects for a chance to be featured on our social pages, or as part of a Customer Spotlight in a future issue of Market Corner.

At Trivantage, your customer experience is our top priority. We’ve worked alongside professionals in the shade, marine, and furnishings industries for nearly 20 years, and we’re always looking for new ways to enhance our support and earn your trust.

That’s why we want to hear directly from you! Soon, all customers will receive an email inviting them to rate their experience or leave a review after placing an order. Your feedback helps us understand how we can better support you and make your work easier, so keep an eye out.

With your input, we can continue delivering the value that you love, through things like wholesale pricing, fast shipping, and expert support. We’re all about making it simple to get what you need, when you need it.

We are thrilled to share the news that Bret Kelley, our vice president of sales since 2014, will be the next president of Trivantage. Steve Ellington, who joined Glen Raven in 1983 and has led Trivantage since 2009, has announced his plans to retire on January 1, 2024. Bret and Steve will work closely in the months ahead to ensure the transition is seamless and provide you and our industry with continued support.

Bret is no stranger to the high-performance textile industry. He joined Trivantage after 21 years with Highland Industries, Inc., where he led sales and marketing efforts for technical fabrics in commercial, industrial, and military applications. During his tenure at Trivantage, his focus has not wavered on identifying solutions for our customers.

In making the announcement, Bret said: “At Trivantage, we need to be where our customers are before they get there. Our partners are evolving at a rapid pace and we are committed to their success over the long term. My priority is to ensure customers can count on Trivantage for new product innovation, best-in-class service, and a customer experience that is second to none.”

It’s hard to put into words how much Steve means to Trivantage, Glen Raven, and the industry. He served as president and general manager of Glen Raven Custom Fabrics, the makers of Sunbrella^®, and was instrumental in the acquisition of Dickson-Constant, which established Glen Raven as a global company. He also was instrumental in the formation of Trivantage, which due to his leadership is today one of Glen Raven’s largest subsidiaries. Steve’s contribution to the growth of Glen Raven’s global business during his 41-year career with the company is nothing short of remarkable.

If you know Bret you are already well aware of his passion for partnering with customers, and Steve noted how his focus on partnerships will continue to transform Trivantage in the years ahead: “Bret’s deep industry knowledge, strategic vision, and customer-centric approach make him the ideal choice to lead Trivantage. He is a trusted advisor who is steadfast in his commitment to our industry and the customers we serve.”

Please join all of us at Trivantage in congratulating Bret on his new role and recognizing Steve for his tireless efforts in the industry we support.

At Trivantage, we are committed to delivering a best-in-class experience and hassle-free ordering of industry-leading brands, and having everything you need all in one place. Case in point, the new 2023-24 Trivantage Digital Catalog.

Available only at trivantage.com, you can browse, research, or download the digital catalog. You can access the full catalog, or to save time and space, you can download separate market-specific catalog sections – Fabric, Shade Solutions, Clean/Protect/Adhere, Hardware, Trim & Cord, and Reference.

With a wide range of products to choose from and a Customer Care Team dedicated to your business, there’s never been a better time to take advantage of hassle-free, easy ordering from Trivantage.
