Mohawk Industries, Inc.
A maker of carpets, ceramic and porcelain tile, laminate, wood, and luxury vinyl, Mohawk is one of the world's largest flooring companies, selling through home centers, retailers, and builders across the globe. It traces its roots to 1878, when four Shuttleworth brothers opened a carpet mill beside the Mohawk River in Amsterdam, New York—the source of its name—before growing through acquisitions like Dal-Tile and Unilin. A fun twist: its EverStrand carpet is spun from recycled plastic bottles, giving billions of single-use bottles a second life underfoot.
