What stands out
What this company does
Mohawk Industries is one of the world's largest flooring companies, making everything from carpets and rugs to tile, wood, and vinyl floors. The company earns its money selling these products for both home renovations and new building construction. This means its success is often linked to the health of the housing and construction markets.
Mohawk Industries began as a carpet mill in 1878, founded by the Shuttleworth brothers in Amsterdam, New York. For much of its history, the company focused on woven carpets and rugs. A major shift occurred in 1992 when the company went public, raising money that fueled a period of rapid growth through buying other companies. This strategy transformed Mohawk from an American carpet maker into the world's largest flooring company, expanding into tile, laminate, vinyl, and wood flooring through key acquisitions like Dal-Tile (2002), Unilin (2005), and Marazzi (2013).
Mohawk is a global company that makes a wide variety of flooring and surface products for homes, businesses, and new construction projects. You would encounter their products when shopping for carpet, rugs, ceramic or porcelain tile for your floor or walls, and even stone or quartz countertops. They also manufacture popular flooring types like laminate, wood, and luxury vinyl tile (LVT). Beyond just flooring, in some regions, the company also produces other building materials like insulation and panels for construction.
This is the company's largest business segment, making it the biggest manufacturer of ceramic tile in the world. This division produces and sells ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles that you would see on floors and walls, as well as quartz and porcelain slab countertops. Their products are sold through various channels, including company-owned stores, home centers, and independent retailers to both residential and commercial customers. This segment represents the largest slice of the company's business, accounting for about 39% of its total revenue.
This part of the business focuses on the North American market and includes the company's original product: carpet. It sells a wide range of flooring, including broadloom carpet, rugs, laminate, wood, and various types of vinyl flooring. Customers for these products range from individual homeowners shopping at retail stores and home centers to builders and commercial contractors. This segment is a significant part of the company, making up about 35% of its total sales.
This segment handles flooring sales outside of North America, with a strong presence in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. It sells many of the same types of flooring as the North American division, such as laminate, vinyl, carpet, and wood. Uniquely, this division also produces and sells other building products in Europe, including insulation, roofing panels, and boards used for furniture and construction. This international business is a substantial contributor, representing about 26% of the company's overall revenue.
The company is focused on navigating the ups and downs of the housing market by creating innovative and appealing products to encourage homeowners to upgrade their floors. They are also concentrating on growing their sales of hard-surface flooring like tile, laminate, and vinyl, which have become more popular than traditional carpet. Management is also investing in sustainability, aiming to reduce waste and use more recycled materials in their products. By improving efficiency in their factories and managing costs carefully, they aim to be well-positioned for growth when the housing and remodeling markets improve.
