Come celebrate Culp's 50th Birthday

Culp History

Robert George Culp, Jr. - to most known as 'Bullet' - devoted his entire career to the further development of the upholstery fabric industry. In 1972, at age 55, he risked his entire life savings to start Culp, Inc. with his son, Rob. During 20 years as the head of Culp, he guided the firm from fabric converter to one of the leading vertical manufacturers of upholstered fabrics in our industry. In addition, he became a manufacturer of Jacquards, dobbies, and prints. His company has become one of the most important suppliers of fabrics for the furniture and bedding industries. With limited resources, Mr. Culp developed a business from scratch to become a leader in both innovation and growth in a major industry against well-entrenched, powerful competition.

Robert “Rob" G. Culp III became a student of fabrics and the industry when he and his father co-founded Culp Inc. as an upholstery fabric converter in 1972. During his 45-year tenure, the company grew into a global producer and marketer of two distinctly different core businesses: upholstery fabrics and mattress fabrics. A consummate listener, curious and ever optimistic, he built a company known for design creativity, product innovation and an unwavering commitment to customers.
