MHK Company Overview

Mohawk Industries, Inc. is a U.S.-based global flooring manufacturer operating across the residential and commercial building products industries. The company designs, manufactures, sources, distributes, and markets a broad portfolio of flooring products, including carpet, rugs, ceramic tile, laminate, wood flooring, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), sheet vinyl, stone products, insulation panels, and countertops. Mohawk generates revenue primarily through the sale of flooring products to retailers, distributors, home centers, builders, commercial contractors, and property developers. The company is widely recognized as one of the world’s largest flooring manufacturers by revenue and production scale.

Mohawk was founded in 1878 as a carpet manufacturer and evolved through decades of expansion and acquisitions into a diversified global flooring company. A major turning point occurred in the 1990s and 2000s under the leadership of founder and former CEO Alan Shaw and later Jeffrey Lorberbaum, when the company pursued large-scale acquisitions to broaden its product portfolio and international footprint. Key acquisitions included Dal-Tile, Unilin, Marazzi, and numerous regional flooring businesses, which expanded Mohawk beyond North American carpet manufacturing into hard-surface flooring and global operations. The company’s strategic positioning is supported by vertical integration, manufacturing scale, proprietary flooring technologies, and extensive distribution relationships.
