Did you know2024
Mohawk's Unilin subsidiary (acquired 2005) holds the foundational patents on click-lock floating floor technology — the mechanical tongue-and-groove joint used in virtually all modern laminate, LVT/rigid core, and engineered wood "floating floors" sold globally. Any manufacturer making floating floors without a Unilin license infringes Mohawk's patent portfolio. As a result, Mohawk earns royalty payments from every primary competitor — Tarkett, Gerflor, Armstrong, Pergo (before the Pergo acquisition), Shaw, and hundreds of Chinese manufacturers. Mohawk is simultaneously the world's largest flooring manufacturer AND a technology royalty business collecting from its own competitors on every floating floor they ship. This royalty revenue is a form of supply-chain leverage that operates entirely independently of Mohawk's own production capacity.

Dal-Tile (Mohawk subsidiary) is the single largest manufacturer and distributor of ceramic tile in the United States, controlling an estimated 35–40% of domestic ceramic tile supply through its plants in Dallas TX, Florence AL, and Sunnyvale TX — plus Marazzi Italy and American Olean imports. Combined with Mohawk's other tile brands, Mohawk effectively controls approximately 50% of US ceramic tile availability at any given moment. Ceramic tile is a critical infrastructure material: it is specified in every hospital, school, airport, and commercial kitchen built under US building codes. A Mohawk ceramic supply disruption is a construction-sector supply disruption.
Mohawk Industries, Inc. ↗Origin2024
Mohawk Industries traces its origin to Shuttleworth Brothers, a carpet mill founded in Amsterdam, New York in 1878. The company moved into tufted carpet (the Dalton technology) and IPO'd as Mohawk Carpet in 1992. The growth story was entirely through acquisition: Dal-Tile (1998, $1.7B — world's largest ceramic tile manufacturer), Unilin (Belgium, 2005, $2.6B — inventor of click-lock laminate flooring), Marazzi (2013, ~$1.5B — Italy's largest tile brand). By revenue, Mohawk is the world's largest flooring company at ~$10B annually, spanning materials from petrochemical-derived carpet fiber to kiln-fired porcelain — a supply chain spanning petroleum, natural gas, mined minerals, and forests.
