World Upholstery's Patterns & Tooling live on

[JMinPDX]

This was in my inbox today. Looks like Newark Auto has purchased World Upholstery's patterns, tooling and machinery. As well as hiring a WU employee, they're making their product line. As a New Jersey native I'm happy in more ways than one.

E9's don't show up on their search option but I've sent them an email asking if e9 interiors will become available.

Post in thread 'World of Upholstery out of business?'

Jan 23, 2025

@offpage -- You're welcome. I'm only 27-years-old and intend to grow this business for quite a while. In the long-term, I intend to expand our catalog of e9 items + other interior items for classic European vehicles. In the short term though, my goal is to integrate World Upholstery's catalog and production into Newark Auto, which involves digitizing thousands of patterns so we can cut them on our automated CNC fabric cutters and increase efficiency/consistency. Eventually, I imagine we will only use the Newark Auto brand name, though I'm interested in your thoughts on that...
