Program Details:

Founded in 1960, the UNILIN group is a leader in the wood products industry.  The strength of the organization is a focus on continuous innovation and investments in both product and technological developments.  In 1989, Unilin was the first producer of Direct Pressure Laminate (DPL), and in 1997, the company launched UniclicŪ - the world's first glueless click system. Under UNILIN's patents, UniclicŪ is the most widely used glueless click system in the industry.  Continuous innovation has made Quick-Step, UNILIN's leading brand, the benchmark laminate product in both the European and US markets.

The UNILIN group was acquired by Mohawk Industries Inc. in October of 2005.  For over 120 years Mohawk has been a trusted name in carpets.  Today Mohawk is the leading producer and distributor of flooring worldwide.  With the backing of Mohawk, the UNILIN group is positioned to become the dominant laminate flooring manufacturer in the US.

The US laminate flooring group, Unilin Flooring NC LLC, operates two manufacturing facilities in the Thomasville, NC area, including  a state of the art facility opened in October 2005
