Shaw Industries Group commemorates its 50th anniversary in 2017. With roots in the textile industry of northwest Georgia, the company was founded in 1967 when it formed a holding company to purchase Philadelphia Carpet Company.
“We have a proud history of driving the industry forward,” said Vance Bell, chairman and CEO. “As we work to achieve our corporate vision of creating a better future for our customers, associates, the company, and our communities, we’re taking a moment to reflect on our past, but more importantly to transform ourselves into an even more innovative, diverse, sustainable, customer-focused company for the future.”
