CULP INC

Most of our mattress fabrics shipments originate from our facility in Stokesdale, North Carolina, and we currently have additional distribution capabilities in China, Haiti, and Turkey. Following the Fiscal 2025 restructuring, distribution from Canada was eliminated in connection with the closure of our former facility there.

Through arrangements with major customers and in accordance with industry practice, we maintain a significant inventory of “make to stock” mattress fabrics at our distribution facility in Stokesdale, North Carolina, so that products may be shipped to customers with shorter lead times and/or on a “just in time” basis.

A majority of our upholstery fabrics are marketed on a “make to order” basis and are shipped directly from our distribution facilities in Burlington, North Carolina, and Shanghai, China. In fiscal 2026, we plan to consolidate our distribution operations in Burlington, North Carolina, into our Stokesdale facility for operational efficiency and cost reduction purposes in connection with the integration of our mattress fabric and upholstery fabric segments. We also have distribution capabilities in Vietnam and Turkey.

In addition to “make to order” distribution, an inventory of select fabric patterns is held at our distribution facilities in North Carolina and China from which our customers can obtain quick delivery of sourced fabrics through a program known as “Culp Express.” Our distribution capabilities for our “Culp Express” program to local customers in Canada through our mattress fabrics distribution facility in Quebec, Canada, were discontinued following the Fiscal 2025 restructuring.

Window treatment products sold through our Read Window Products business are done on a “job order” basis, with manufactured products shipped directly from Read's manufacturing facility in Knoxville, Tennessee, to the job installation site.
