Home Fab Overseas

Home Fab Overseas is located at 55-L in Model Town. It’s a residential-turned-commercial kind of area, so it feels a bit more relaxed than an industrial park. We have been working out of this space for a good while. Our main thing is textiles, specifically things for the home like rugs or curtains. The building is usually full of stacks of fabric and samples of different weaves. It’s not a big corporate office; it’s more like a workshop where we also do the administrative stuff. There are usually a few people around cutting fabric or packing up small samples to send to customers. We aren't big on formal meetings or fancy presentations. If someone wants to see what we have, we just pull out a roll of cloth and show them. The neighborhood is nice, and we know the people in the shops next door. Sometimes the street gets a bit blocked up with delivery vans, but we manage. We’ve had some of the same people working here for years, so we all know the routine pretty well. It’s not always perfect—sometimes a machine breaks down or a dye lot comes out slightly off, and we have to spend the whole day fixing it. That’s just the reality of making things. We stay busy and we keep our heads down. It’s a simple way to run a business, and it works for us.
