Capel Rugs Holds Employee Party for 100th Anniversary

More than 150 of Capel Rugs’ corporate, retail, and factory employees gathered on the grounds of the rug maker’s oldest production facility in Troy, N.C., for a party to celebrate the company’s 100th anniversary. Each employee received a $100 gift card, and a group photograph of the workforce was taken to commemorate the event—along with scores of individual selfies.

“Holding this anniversary party gave us a chance to tell our incredibly dedicated and talented group of employees how proud we are of them and what they have achieved,” said Richard Capel, director of manufacturing for Capel Rugs. “Their contribution to our company is the key reason we can celebrate this amazing milestone of 100 years in business.”
