TVF, a digital-printing fabric supplier, has announced that longtime industry veteran Michael Sanders will be moving on to the next chapter in his career.
On July 1, he will leave TVF to pursue personal interests and other business opportunities in the digital print industry.
Sanders has built a storied career in the textiles and printing industries, starting in 1973 with Cal-Pacific Dyeing, Finishing & Printing. He later co-founded Pacific Coast Fabrics (PCF) in 1995 with Brian Vieweg. Together, they built PCF into a respected, innovative fabric supplier for digital printing.
After growing PCF for 22 years, Sanders and Vieweg sold the company to TVF in June of 2017, joining TVF along with their employees.
As part of the sale, Mike agreed to stay on for four years until the end of the contract.
“Selling to TVF was a great decision, and I’ve loved working with the entire TVF team,” says Sanders. “I’m really looking forward to doing some consulting in the industry, and generally enjoying life, catching more waves, and spending time with my family.”
“We are so fortunate that Mike and Brian decided TVF was a good home for PCF,” says Chris Fredericks, CEO of TVF. “Mike has been a pleasure to work with, and I so appreciate everything he has done during his time at TVF. I’m also excited that Brian is continuing his career with TVF for the long-term, continuing the legacy that he and Mike created as innovators and leaders in the digital textile market.”
