A giant of the insurance industry is leading a lawsuit against a defunct Orlando company.

Underwriters at Lloyd’s of London and a group of other insurance companies on March 25 filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida seeking to compel Southern Fiber of Orlando LLC, a now-closed manufacturer, to pay more than $211,000 stemming from a prior arbitration award.

Southern Fiber was a fabric manufacturer and wholesaler that shuttered its Orlando operation in 2015, according to the filings. The company had locations in Miami; Seattle; Charlotte, North Carolina, and other cities. The headquarters address was 230 N. Ortman Drive, Suite B, in Orlando.
