Fibrenew Franchise

Leather, vinyl and plastic restoration and repair service

In 1985 Tom Gallagher founded Fibrenew Industries Ltd., a company that offered customers leather and vinyl repair to its customers in Alberta, Canada. Gallagher's brother-in-law Michael Wilson purchased the first franchise in 1987 and helped the company open its next 20 locations.

Wilson bought the company in 1994, opening up 43 more locations in Canada and 11 in New Zealand. In 1998 Fibrenew International Ltd. was formed.
