Founded in 1980 by Sy Cohen, Stanton
Carpet Corporation was built on the mission to create a brand that was
synonymous with style and value for the decorative market. He has met that
mission with what is recognized today as one of the nation's leading
manufacturers and importers of decorative, high-quality branded carpet and
custom rugs.
Today Stanton is a portfolio company of Linsalata Capital Partners, a private equity firm based out of Cleveland, Ohio. Stanton's three quality carpet divisions represent all key facets of the soft flooring arena: Stanton Carpet, Royal Dutch Carpets and Antrim Carpets USA, LTD. Each division boasts its own branded product line that can be viewed at over 5,000 retail partners nationwide.
Continuing the quest of Roger
De Clerck, founder of Beaulieu Belgium, Mieke and Carl Bouckaert established
Beaulieu of America in 1978 as the first producer of polypropylene oriental
rugs. As sales grew Carl and Mieke invested in yarn extrusion in 1981 becoming
the first manufacturer in the carpet and rug industry to produce their own
yarn. Sparked by continued growth, the Bouckaerts diversified into tufting
carpet in 1984, establishing a factory known today as Beaulieu Commercial in
Chatsworth, Georgia.
In 1987, Beaulieu of America's extrusion capacity was greatly increased with the addition of the Bridgeport, Alabama facility. This modern facility gives Beaulieu the ability to produce nylon polymers and nylon yarns. In 1990, Beaulieu continued its vertical integration with the addition of yet another new facility in Bridgeport, Alabama for the extrusion of polypropylene staple fiber, polypropylene slit film, and weaving of primary and secondary backing.
