Performance on Deck offers exclusive knowledge from industry experts
BURLINGTON, N.C., April 10, 2025 — Trivantage, a one-stop shop for fabrics,
hardware, and accessories, has launched a traveling seminar with a focus on
marine fabrication called Performance on Deck. As part of Trivantage’s ongoing

Presentation topics have included: U-Zip, Why Sunbrella, Clear Vinyl 101,

With live demonstrations, product giveaways, and a vendor market, Performance
on Deck allows marine fabricators to discover innovative products from trusted
brands like Tenara, Scovill, Serge Ferrari, Herculite, Sunbrella, and more.
Attendees also enjoy opportunities to connect with peers, expand their

Additionally, the seminar serves as a way to learn about the benefits of
partnership with Trivantage through the Trivantage Plus program. Members enjoy
access to same-day shipping, discounts on products from Trivantage and
industry partners, virtual seminars, marketing support, and more.

April is Earth Month and I know many of you try to re-use as much as possible
in your workrooms. I know many of you try to use sustainable practices in your
businesses as well. For the upholsterers among us, what could possibly be
better than keeping furniture out of landfills than reupholstering??
Is there anything you do in your workroom that is especially earth friendly? I
would love to hear about it.
I hope you have a great week!
