Mohawk Industries, Inc.

What does Mohawk Industries own?

Is Mohawk Industries publicly traded?
Yes. It trades on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker MHK and is a member of the S&P 500.

When was Mohawk Industries founded?
The corporate entity formed in 1988 as a spin-off of Mohasco's carpet operations. Its operating mills trace back to the 1920s, and the Lorberbaum family's Aladdin Mills merged in during the early 1990s.

Who owns Mohawk Industries?
Public shareholders own it. Chairman and CEO Jeff Lorberbaum, son of Aladdin Mills' founder, has led the company since 2001 and retains meaningful share ownership without majority control.

What is Mohawk Industries' market position?
It is the largest flooring manufacturer in the world by revenue at $10.8 billion, holding leading share in North American carpet, ceramic tile, and laminate simultaneously.

Where are Mohawk products made?
The company operates about 130 facilities across the US, Mexico, Brazil, Europe, Australia, and other markets, with carpet concentrated in northwest Georgia and tile plants in the US, Mexico, and Europe.

Mohawk's operating history runs through acquired mills back to the early 20th century, but the modern company dates to 1988, when Mohasco Corporation spun off its carpet operations as Mohawk Industries, led by David Kolb. The Lorberbaum family's Aladdin Mills carpet business merged in during the early 1990s, bringing Jeff Lorberbaum into leadership.

Under Lorberbaum, the company executed a sustained acquisition strategy that transformed a carpet maker into a diversified flooring group. The 2002 purchase of Dal-Tile for approximately $1.8 billion made it the largest ceramic tile producer in North America. The 2005 acquisition of Unilin for approximately $2.6 billion brought the Quick-Step and Pergo laminate brands plus patented locking installation technology. Marazzi followed in 2013 for roughly $1.5 billion, doubling down on global ceramic. Godfrey Hirst in 2018 added the leading Australian carpet maker.

Through two decades of deals, Mohawk became the category leader in nearly every flooring type it sells. It is an S&P 500 member and the dominant supplier to big-box home centers and independent flooring retailers alike.

FY2025 was flat at $10.8 billion in net sales, with net earnings of $370 million and adjusted EPS of $8.96, as weak housing turnover and postponed remodeling continued a downturn running since 2022. Q3 2026 showed stabilization: sales of $2.8 billion, up 1%, with nine-month sales of $8.5 billion up 5.2%, and management characterizing 2026 as a transitional year as housing markets begin recovering.

Mohawk publishes annual sustainability reporting covering energy, water, recycled content, and circular economy programs. Its carpet operations use substantial recycled PET content, and the company operates take-back and recycling programs in several markets.

As a building materials manufacturer, third-party certifications such as FloorScore indoor air quality certification apply to its products rather than corporate ESG designations. The company reports progress on renewable energy adoption at plants and reduced water intensity in tile production.

Mohawk has faced periodic scrutiny typical of a large manufacturer rather than company-defining scandal. Carpet industry PFAS litigation over stain-resistant treatments has touched all major mills including Mohawk, with settlements and remediation programs across the industry in the 2020s.

Labor and antitrust matters have arisen at times in its industry, and the company manages routine EPA and OSHA compliance across roughly 130 manufacturing and distribution sites. No material company-level enforcement action is part of its recent record.
