A Legacy of Growth and Opportunity
Since its inception in 1948, Checker Distributors has evolved from a small basement operation into a leading force in the distribution of notions, fabrics, and quilting supplies, servicing retailers worldwide with a commitment to same-day shipping and unparalleled customer service. Founded on the principles of perseverance, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to our customers, Checker has navigated through decades of industry changes, continually adapting and expanding its product offerings to meet and exceed the demands of a dynamic market.
As we reflect on our rich history, from the humble beginnings to our expansive facilities in Maumee, Ohio, we recognize that our success has been fueled not only by our dedication to service but also through strategic partnerships and acquisitions. Our journey has been marked by significant milestones, including partnerships with leading brands like Creative Grids UK, Karen Kay Buckley®, Callie Del™, and The Gypsy Quilter®, expansions of our product lines, and enhancements to our distribution capabilities. These achievements underscore our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence.
