After William Shuttleworth died, the four sons moved to Amsterdam, New York in 1878 and took over an empty factory there.〔(Daily Gazette )〕 The company incorporated as the Shuttleworth Brothers Company in 1902.〔(Funding Universe )〕 The company adopted the name Mohawk Carpet Mills (or Mohawk Mills, for short) in 1920, when it merged with McCleary, Wallin and Crouse, another mill in Amsterdam.〔(Hudson Valley Ruins )〕 It became the country's sole weaver to offer an entire line of domestic carpets, also creating the industry's first textured design and sculptured weave.〔 In 1956, Mohawk Carpet Mills merged with Alexander Smith, Inc. to become Mohasco Industries, which gradually moved manufacturing south into the Carolinas and eventually Georgia. In 1963, the company turned some of its attention to furniture manufacturing. Carpet manufacturing at the Amsterdam site ended by 1968 and the last corporate offices left by 1987.〔 In 1992, the company went public as Mohawk Industries and through 2003, it continued to acquire and merge many other companies into its conglomerate.〔 Its present CEO is Jeffrey Lorberbaum. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mohawk Industries」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
