SBI was founded by Gene Banks in 1979 after a fulfilling career as a firefighter in Dallas, TX! Due to first-hand experience with the impact of fire on fabrics, upholstery & people's lives, Gene set out to specialize in the application of flame retardants to upholstery & drapery fabrics. Over the last 41 years, Gene has built one of America's leading full-service fabric finishing operations, & SBI continues to grow as a generational family business today! SBI's early success & expansion was driven by the commitment to using only the highest quality finishing products & most advanced application techniques.
