Our Story

NDF Fabrics first started in April of 1980. Founder and President, Nick De Francesco, acquired his industry experience while working at a Canadian based furniture company - The Breamore Group - also known as Standard Reupholstering Co. Where he was the buyer of fabrics for various furniture lines.

Although furniture was his first love, he found fabrics to be promising. Nick opened his first wholesaler outlet in a small 1500 sq ft unit, with his wife, one employee and his then 13-year-old son, Anthony.

With a lot of hard work and a little luck, NDF gained a good reputation in the industry. Nick had to move the business from one small unit to two units, which was followed by a third. In 1986, Nick built his first 20,000 sq foot warehouse. However, soon after, this did not suffice. NDF built a reputation for large selections of textile at great prices. Another space had to be rented to hold the growing stock of upholstery & drapery textiles.

In 1992, the warehouse was 80,000 square feet and Nick's three children, Anthony, Steve and Danielle joined NDF Group which rapidly expanded the entire business. This time, the expansion included offering upholstery supplies under the Total Supplies division. Nick felt the need to build yet another warehouse so in November 1995, Nick and his family moved the business to its present location - a plant of 85,000 square feet.

Today, NDF Group is enjoying a strong business reputation for value and quality in the wholesale fabric industry.
