Our Story
Richloom is a third-generation, family-owned textile and finished goods company built on entrepreneurial spirit and a global vision. Founded in 1957 by Fred Richman with just a $5,000 loan, Richloom began as a small fabric supplier and has since grown into a multifaceted operation serving a wide range of industries worldwide.
Fred’s Legacy Lives on Through the Next Generations
Jim Richman, who joined in 1972 and has led the company for more than 35 years as CEO. Under his direction, Richloom expanded internationally and entered the furniture, hospitality, and finished goods markets, employing hundreds around the globe.
Michael Saivetz, Fred’s grandson and current President & COO, helped drive Richloom’s growth in Shanghai, and later opened new doors in the RV industry.
