Founded in 1939, Brittany has grown from a small fabric printing business located in Fall River, Massachusetts into a leading manufacturer of specialty fabrics and technology solutions.
George Joblon begins his career working as a colorist for a New York textile printing plant while studying nights at the Pratt Institute. He becomes one of the most respected colorists in the United States and opens Normandy Print Works, a fabric printing business in Fall River, Massachusetts.
Normandy’s reputation for ingenuity, quality and reliability drives them to become the largest hand-screen printing company in the country. Their expansion prompted a move to New Bedford, Massachusetts.

The business expands into fabric dyeing and finishing.
