Saint-Georges, Quebec, Canada —

North American decorative fabric manufacturer Victor Group has appointed Paul Bennotti director of marketing.

Bennotti, a veteran of the textiles industry with more than 20 years of experience in marketing, joins the company at a critical point. Victor’s acquisition of the Quaker Fabric Corp. in 2007 made it one of the largest producers of upholstery fabric in the world. Previously focused exclusively on the contract furniture industry, the company said it has expanded into the residential furniture market as well. Victor Group also emphasizes its expertise in developing environmentally sustainable products.

Prior to joining Victor Group, Bennotti held senior marketing positions at G3 Technology Innovations; Interface Fabrics, Inc., and BASF Corporation.

Alain Duval, president and ceo of Victor Group, said “There are a lot of exciting changes happening right now, both in the industry and at Victor. I am confident that with his experience and familiarity with our industry, customers and partners, Paul can step in and effectively help lead our marketing efforts during these tumultuous times.”
