High Point, NC — LifeStyle Furnishings International (LFI) is negotiating to sell its Sunbury fabrics division to a group headed by current management.

Sunbury, a wovens fabric mill with sales of approximately $50 million, specializes in upscale wovens for the jobber, furniture, export and manufactured products markets.

Its management is headed by Henry Truslow, chairman and ceo, and includes Hank Truslow, his son, who is president and coo, and Rocco Simone, senior vp.

The Sunbury transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2002.
