Grant Thornton Stax congratulates Thibaut, a premier designer and distributor of luxury wallcoverings, fabrics, rugs, and furniture, on its recent acquisition by Quad-C Management. We are proud to have supported Thibaut, a former Norwest Equity Partners portfolio company, on the sell-side, working closely with its management team and investment bank, William Blair and Company, throughout this successful transaction.​

Founded in 1886, Thibaut is recognized as the oldest wallpaper company in the United States. Over more than a century, the company has expanded into a comprehensive design brand offering wallcoverings, fabrics, trim, furniture, and rugs across its portfolio of brands, including Thibaut, Anna French, Coraggio, and Thibaut Fine Furniture. ​


Renowned for its distinctive aesthetic and elevated design approach, Thibaut combines sophisticated color palettes, modern interpretations of timeless patterns, dedicated customer service, and original artwork developed by its in-house creative team. The company serves the trade exclusively and distributes its products globally through hundreds of locations, supported by six flagship showrooms in the U.S. as well as corporate offices in New Jersey and London.
