EE Schenck, one of the oldest and largest wholesale distributors of fabrics and notions in the U.S., was founded in 1921 by Earl E. Schenck, Sr. in Seattle, WA. His son, Earl Jr. joined the growing company in 1945. In 1968 Stan Gray began working in the warehouse while he was in college. Eventually he worked his way up to General Manager. In 1981 Stan bought 100% interest in the company and became president of EE Schenck. The company continued to grow and launched Maywood Studio. Stan’s daughter and the current president, Brittany Gray, joined the business in 2014. In 2021 EE Schenck Company celebrated its centennial!
