New Tri Vantage™ Division Marks Next Chapter For Glen Raven

Glen Raven, N.C.-based Glen Raven Inc.’s acquisition last year of The Astrup Co. and John Boyle & Co., and subsequent consolidation and merger of those companies’ operations into its own, has culminated in the creation of Tri Vantage™ LLC, Glen Raven’s new distribution division that combines the strengths of all three businesses.

“We are very pleased to move forward as one united company under the new Tri Vantage name,” said Harry Gobble, president and general manager, Tri Vantage. “Though the name is new, we are well known with a rich heritage of leadership in the specialty fabrics industry. Through Tri Vantage, we have woven the strengths and capabilities of three great companies together to provide the highest level of product innovation and the best service possible to our customers.”

The new division employs more than 300 associates in 19 distribution centers and offices throughout North America. It offers an expanded line of products, fully stocked inventory at each distribution center, same-day servicing capabilities and enhanced online purchasing at www.trivantage.com.
