Cartex Limited Franchise

Cartex Limited, otherwise known as “Fabrion” is a franchise for a business providing professional repair systems. It was founded in 1987 and started franchising in 1988.

The founder, Larry Klukowski, invented his own fabric repair kit that produces invisible repairs that lasts. He first sold his kit to a auto repairman in Tennessee. The sale happened in just a rental car lot then he started getting requests from North Carolina and Georgia. Through word of mouth, the demand grew and soon, it became a repair system that was one of the best and in very high demand. They have been featured in several publications and some of the big names included GM’s Tech Center News and even Newsweek. From being used as an interior restoration tool for automotive, they have grown to servicing aircraft interiors, boats, even in restaurants, offices, and homes. They now have 72 locations in the United States, one in Canada, and one that is company owned.
