The company was previously known as Vision Contract Manufacturing and began operating under the Revival name late last year after Renegade Furniture Group acquired Vision in October. Under its former name, the company manufactured residential and hospitality upholstery for multiple furniture manufacturers as well as a major North Carolina hospitality destination. At the time, the 200,000-square-foot facility employed approximately 50 people.
Revival was intended to strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities. Earlier this year, Baila Bree, COO of Renegade Furniture Group, a sister company of Tov Furniture, told Furniture Today that the company aimed to “revive American manufacturing” by combining craftsmanship and technology and eventually incorporating AI into its operations.
Bree also said the company was introducing new systems with a focus on advancing technology and helping employees learn how to use technology and AI.
Bruce Krinsky, CEO and co-founder of Tov Furniture, said, “Revival American Contract Furniture was an independent manufacturer and one of the manufacturing partners used by Tov Furniture and Renegade Furniture Group. As our upholstery business has grown, we made the strategic decision to transition the production we were sourcing from Revival to our broader manufacturing network. It gives us greater scale, flexibility and efficiency, while allowing us to expand our assortment and respond faster to what our customers are looking for.“
“I have tremendous respect for the craftspeople at Revival, and I’m grateful for the work they did for us. American furniture manufacturing has a long and proud history in North Carolina, and the people who worked there brought real skill and craftsmanship to their work.”
Krinsky said the change reflects Tov’s plans for its next stage of growth rather than a retreat from upholstery.
“Upholstery continues to be an important and growing part of our business, and I’m incredibly excited about what we have in development,” he said. “We’re investing, expanding and building the manufacturing network we believe will best support the next stage of Tov’s growth.”
The High Point facility is now being marketed for lease. Dave Pendlebury of Lincoln Drive LLC, the property’s leasing agent, said the building is zoned for heavy industrial use and that the owner is seeking a three-year lease.
Pendlebury expects the property to lease for approximately $3.75 per square foot annually. All Revival equipment is scheduled to be removed from the facility by the end of August. Prospective tenants can contact Doug Wichter at 336-688-9830 for leasing information.
