About Us

GreatGrampsIn 1893, Samual Cristall began selling tailoring supplies to the growing number of shops in the Buffalo area. As the textile manufacturing trade began growing in the area, he started selling larger volumes of thread and supplies.

In 1947, his son, S.M. Cristall, took over the business and began expanding as a sales agent for many of the top mills in the business.

Today, S.M. Cristall Co. is run by his daughter, Ginny, and her 2 sons, Gary and Jeff, making up the 3rd and 4th generations. S.M. Cristall is proud to distribute for some of the premier companies in the industry today.
