forces with powerhouse names like Choice Hotels,
Radisson, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt, Wyndham, and
Disney. Recently, Ringer points out, there has
been a surge of interest in Richloom among the
cruise ship industry, leading to the development
of an extensive array of IMO fabrics and finished
bedding and accessory products for cruise lines
including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian,
and Princess Cruises.
Given Richloom's wide-ranging repertoire,
it is fitting the company has operations in six
countries shipping product worldwide. For a
decade much attention has been given to sister
company Richloom Shanghai Trading, which
has nurtured a mighty supply network in Asia.
Despite the inherent challenges of orchestrating
such a layered, international approach, Richloom
puts environmental responsibility at the forefront
of its mission. "At our distribution center in
South Carolina, we are in the middle of a major
renovation replacing all lighting. This will reduce
our energy consumption by 33 percent," says
Ringer. As more projects arise, he adds, Richloom
will continue to look for additional ways to
whittle down its carbon footprint.
These new possibilities continue to snag the
limelight at a rapid pace. For instance, after
the recent unveiling of two new sheer and
multi-use fabric options from South African
designer Kelly Hoppen's hospitality range for the
brand, Ringer is already looking forward to the
future-particularly "a new book of 'alta' finished
upholstery fabrics with superior water barrier and
stain repellency, as well as a new contract quality
outdoor solution dyed acrylic woven upholstery
collection." While hopeful, the circa-1950s
Richman, executing his small, tailored biz with
just a $5,000 loan, surely couldn't have envisioned
such a fast-paced, enthralling future. ❙❘❚
