B Carpet Returns to Industry’s Female-Focused Roots
While the birth of Dalton, Georgia, as the capital of the carpet industry is primarily owed to a woman, today’s carpet manufacturers are typically led by men. One Dalton company is bucking that trend. B Carpet has been granted official woman-owned business certification by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council. This certification affirms that the business is woman-owned, operated and controlled.
A shareholder in the company since she was 17, Elizabeth Moore serves as the CEO of B Carpet. She began working as director of sales and marketing for B Carpet in 2009, when her father, Company Chairman Burton Brown, turned over his share of the business to Moore and his other daughter, Louise Lochner. Shortly thereafter, Moore became the company’s vice president. B Carpet’s special niche in the market has been earned through careful attention to detail and quality in its specialized products. Products that were born from the history of Georgia’s carpet industry, which got its start through women and bedspreads.
