U&G Fabrics: eco-friendly fabrics

Weaving together corporate and social responsibility, U&G Fabrics believes that everyone should have access to premium, eco-friendly fabrics at fair price points. This commitment drives the company to offer exceptional products that are both affordable and accessible, regardless of budget or location.

Established in 1980 as a family-owned fabric store in Durban, South Africa, U&G Fabrics has grown into a leading brand in the fabrics and decor industry. With a national presence and a reputation for excellence, the company combines unmatched expertise with a passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces. U&G offers an extensive range of decorative fabrics and accessories tailored to the corporate, hospitality, and residential decor markets.

Collaboration is at the core of U&G’s operations. The company builds professional partnerships with its clients to transform creative ideas into stunning realities. From initial concept to installation, U&G delivers innovative and cost-effective solutions for upholstery and soft furnishing needs, ensuring style, durability, and convenience.

As a wholly black-owned and managed enterprise, U&G Fabrics is the largest company of its kind in South Africa’s soft furnishing fabric sector. Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) is integral to the company’s identity, with U&G exceeding affirmative procurement and employment equity requirements. This positions the company as an ideal partner for private and public sector projects.

U&G has been a pioneer in advancing black economic transformation in South Africa. Its dedication to fair labour practices, skills development and small business support has created opportunities for over 350 small businesses in the upholstery and furniture manufacturing sectors nationwide.

Today, U&G is a trusted supplier to hospitality establishments of all sizes across Southern Africa and beyond. The company has successfully completed major contracts with leading hotels and leisure brands, further solidifying its reputation for quality and innovation.

By promoting equity, empowerment, and strong partnerships, the company is shaping a future where design and sustainability come together to create lasting impact.
