Phifer Inc., leading global manufacturer of energy-saving sun-control fabrics, insect screen, drawn wire, engineered meshes, and indoor/outdoor performance furniture fabrics, continues its partnership with World Vision, a global humanitarian organization dedicated to working with children, families, and communities in need. Phifer has donated a significant amount of fabric to the World Vision organization during its 10-year partnership. World Vision distributes the fabric throughout the world, providing immediate and long-term aid.
Gregg Terry, Phifer’s director of sales development, says, “Phifer was founded in 1952 on the core values of giving back and helping others, and our donations are in keeping with the company’s commitment and beliefs since the beginning. We are thrilled to be able to help children and families through the donations to World Vision.”
Phifer fabric has been used in numerous applications, from sleeping cots and hammocks to dividing walls in family homes. Additional applications include the fabric’s use as canvas for schoolchildren’s art activities and on windows for insect and sun protection. Mary Garcia, corporate-engagement director with World Vision, says, “Phifer fabric is one of those rare, unique products that enhances many aspects of World Vision’s work worldwide. Its adaptability and resilience present a multitude of uses, and our field staff is uncovering new applications every year. We sincerely thank Phifer for its ongoing partnership.”
