The company is a privately owned manufacturer of tufted carpet. We were the second company in the UK to commence manufacture of this new type of carpet in 1956 and we now operate 2 mills, one for the manufacture, and the other for finishing, distribution and head office administration. Tufted carpet now accounts for over 80% of all carpets sold in the UK and we are the second largest UK company involved. We supply our domestic orientated products to distributors and retailers but also have a Contract division supplying custom made carpet to the Middle East.
