She earned a Master of Business Administration from Wake Forest University and received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of North Carolina. Hunsberger will report to Culp Inc.’s president and Chumbley will remain involved with the upholstery fabrics division in an advisory role.
“I am delighted that Mary Beth will be the next president of Culp Upholstery Fabrics. She is a terrific fit for our current and future plans, with a focused commitment to our customers, employees, suppliers and shareholders. I am immensely grateful for my many years at Culp and the valued relationships I have built along the way. I am excited for Mary Beth and the entire upholstery fabrics team as they work to enhance Culp Upholstery Fabric’s strong competitive position as a leading provider of residential and commercial upholstery fabrics and window treatment products,” says Chumbley.
