Mohawk Launches New Distribution, Sales and Operations Center in Flower Mound

Mohawk Industries is investing in a new distribution, sales and operations center in Flower Mound, Texas. Mohawk, a Fortune 500 manufacturing and distribution company headquartered in Calhoun, Georgia, is a leading supplier of flooring for both residential and commercial applications. Mohawk offers a complete selection of carpet, ceramic tile, laminate, wood, stone, rugs and other home products. The company markets these products under the premier brands in the industry, which include Mohawk, Karastan, Durkan, Lees, Bigelow, Dal-Tile, American Olean, Unilin. Mohawk Home, Century, Columbia and Quick Step.

Mohawk recently reported 2010 sales of $5.3 billion and employs approximately 27,000 people in the United States, Mexico, Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Malaysia. Mohawk has had a distribution center presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex for many years but needed a better designed facility to meet service commitments to customers across an expanding product line. Mohawk’s search for more efficient space coincided with local efforts to attract new business. The Town Council of Flower Mound has made economic growth a top priority and is actively seeking strong companies that will provide good jobs.

“We are both delighted and pleased with the presence of a nationally-reputable company selecting Flower Mound for its newest distribution center,” said Melissa Glasgow, Director of Economic Development. “With Flower Mound’s strategic central location, low tax rate, excellent school system and unsurpassed quality of life, it makes sense that Mohawk would seek to establish business operations here.”

In addition to housing a national distribution center, the Flower Mound facility will also house the South Central Regional Operations offices and Regional Sales offices. The new facility’s layout has been engineered for more efficient flow of product, which will help support Mohawk’s commitment to exceptional service for all customers in the facility’s seven-state service area. In addition to the process improvements, the Flower Mound facility will keep approximately 85 jobs in the area, which supports local and regional economic growth. Mohawk is proud to partner with the Town of Flower Mound to make this venture a reality. The company has solidified its commitment to provide quality jobs, to be a good corporate citizen in its new community and to improve its business operations locally and globally.

“Due to our continued success in this marketplace as well as the tremendous growth that we’ve experienced in the hard surface segment of our business, we are very pleased to be moving to our new Mohawk facility into the Flower Mound community,” stated Dan Butterfield, Regional Vice President of Sales for Mohawk. “We would like to extend a special ‘thank you’ to Hillwood Development and the Town of Flower Mound for their strong support and partnership throughout this process.”
