Jb Martin Company Incorporated

JB Martin Company is a producer of high-end velvets. JB Martin Company claims its origins in the Textile city of Lyon, France from where it had been exporting its high end velvets to world markets since the early part of the nineteenth century. Sample collections of these velvet lines have been donated to the Design Lab of the Fashion Institute of Technology on 27th Street in Manhattan, where they are displayed in a specially designed JB Martin velvet room. By appointment only. Well worth the trip. JB Martin Company began its North American activity in Norwich,Connecticut in 1893, and relocated it in South Carolina in the late 1950's. JB Martin Company, with affiliate production facilities in Mexico since 1948 and Canada since 1936, is still a family-run business, with headquarters and showrooms in New York City. JB Martin Company specializes in woven velvets for the high-end apparel trade, the high-end home furnishings trade, as well as for assorted high-spec industrial applications.
