Earlier this year, Shaw acquired Scotland-based Sanquhar Tile Services (STS), which supplies carpet, resilient, hardwood, tile, stone, laminate flooring products and synthetic turf to residential and commercial markets. This acquisition expands Shaw’s carpet tile footprint to meet the needs of its global customers—complementing the company’s carpet tile manufacturing facilities in Cartersville and Adairsville, Ga., and in Nantong, China.
STS, a long-established and important carpet tile manufacturer in the United Kingdom, will continue to serve its customers as part of Shaw’s commercial flooring division. STS’ established and experienced leadership team and associates will continue to operate the business—with manufacturing capabilities from tufting through cutting—as part of Shaw. Shaw, founded 50 years ago, and STS, which has been manufacturing carpet tile for 45 years, share cultures of innovation, service and long-tenured, experienced associates.
