Fall River based Quaker Fabric Corporation is a leading manufacturer of woven upholstery fabrics for furniture markets in the United States and abroad, and the largest producer of Jacquard upholstery fabric in the world. It also produces specialty yarns, which it both uses in its fabrics and sells to other fabric manufacturers.
