With the advent of durable long-lasting polypropylene fabrics, outdoor rugs have come into their own as a quality investment, Therefore the carpet production industry has grown internationally.

This certification proves the company’s commitment not only to international quality of product but also as protection for their workforce of over 40,000 individuals nationwide and a commitment to protecting the environment with cleaner industrial practices.
