FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA.—Valley Forge Fabrics has appointed Kimberly Roeser vice president of the company’s worldwide sales force. Kimberly’s successful career in hospitality spans 20 years and includes a consistent focus on design and quality. After graduating from West Virginia University with a Bachelor of Science degree, Kimberly became a published residential designer for Worells Interiors of Palm Beach, Fla.
Kimberly merged her love for high design with her innate ability to communicate well when she changed her career path and went to work for Bamboo Abbott. Her role included selling decorative window blinds as well as private label items. It was Kimberly’s success in sales that brought her to Valley Forge in 1996.
For 10 years at Valley Forge, Kimberly has helped customers all over the world with innovative textile solutions. Her numerous responsibilities have included opening the Valley Forge office in Dubai. Kimberly serves as a mentor and role model, not just for the six people who report directly to her, but to dozens more Valley Forge employees who hold her in the highest regard.
“I have truly loved growing with Valley Forge Fabrics,” says Roeser. “Our creative textile solutions have allowed me to provide our international customer base with the most amazing products. Our customers know us as a trusted source in hospitality and I am so thrilled to be part of that.”
Valley Forge Fabrics successfully developed yarn from PET plastic beverage bottles (recycle symbol 1) and brought it to weaving factories worldwide under their own exclusive contracts. Kimberly Roeser is part of the team that created a new line of product trademarked FRESH (an acronym for Fabrics Redefining Environmental Standards for Hospitality) specifically geared towards the large volume of textiles that hotels consume. The award-winning sustainability initiative known as FRESH has altered the way waste is considered and dealt with in both the textile industry and the hospitality industry.
