American Solutions for Business, PPAI 100’s No. 10 distributor, has acquired Minnesota-based contract decorator Dubow Textile. The firms have worked together for over three decades.

As a result of the acquisition, Dubow will be a subsidiary of ASB, but will continue on with its leadership and brand identity, functioning independently to ensure continuity for its customers and partners.

  • There will be no disruption to services or existing relationships, and all customer data and partnerships will remain protected, ASB said.


“My dad would be very proud to know how everything is falling into place and that the future of our business is so promising,” says Jenna Kraemer, director of business development and daughter of Rob Dubow, founder of Dubow Textile.

“We’ve always had a strong connection to ASB, and this is a great opportunity to build an even bigger footprint in the industry. I’m confident we’ll now have the resources to not only keep my dad’s vision of being the best decorator in the industry alive, but to help us continue to grow and make an even bigger impact for our customers.”

Continuing The Legacy

ASB will continue to support all decorators within its network, and its sales associates will retain the ability to work with the suppliers and decorators that best meet their customers’ needs.

  • The intention is to create another resource for ASB associates without restricting their ability to run their business as they see fit, according to the company.


“We are honored that the Dubow family chose ASB to continue to grow their business after [Rob Dubow’s] passing,” says Justin Zavadil, president of American Solutions for Business. “Dubow Textile has been a trusted partner in the industry for over three decades, and we are honored to continue the legacy built by Rob Dubow and his family.”
