Guilford of Maine Discontinues 18 Colors of FR701 Fabric Style
Guilford Of Maine has long been the #1 name in the acoustic fabric industry and we are proud to be able to distribute their fabrics nationwide. This week GOM has announced that they will discontinue production on 18 of the least popular colors of the FR701 fabric style. While this may seem drastic, keep in mind that they recently added 9 new bright and vibrant colors. This production move should only be seen as a way to move out slower moving less popular colors to make room for the new brighter colors. With supply chain issues and difficulty in maintaining stock levels, this move should only make the FR701 line stronger with better availability and shorter lead times.
