Last month, we presented our annual associate recognition program, Milliken Honors, which highlights the everyday champions who are the driving force behind Milliken’s success. Each of our 55 associates recognized inspire us through their actions and values, and as a company, we celebrate their devotion to our community of innovators.

Throughout our company, there are thousands of leaders who help shape the everyday work of Milliken & Company. Their guidance and skills blend together to create an innovative environment where discovery and creativity thrive.

A new year brings a fresh perspective of what’s possible. Resolutions abound as we explore and discover ways to enhance our daily lives. Milliken keenly understands this aspiration, and we encourage our associates and our communities to create a meaningful new year through tailored resolutions.

The holiday season takes on a special meaning for Milliken. Echoing the sentiments of Milliken Gives, associates at each of our locations around the globe find unique ways to give back to their local communities in ways that are meaningful for them personally.

Our commitment to explore, discover and create ways to enhance daily life provides a framework for life at Milliken. In working towards this commitment, we find that enhancing daily life takes many forms. As 2017 draws to a close, we reflect on some of the ways we achieved our goal this year - from developing the latest innovations you can trust to engaging with our associates and our communities for the betterment of the world around us.

Milliken innovation can be found all around you – sometimes, without your knowing – subtly enhancing your life through meaningful designs. From Creative Colorants that take the hassle out of art projects to Visa® fabric that helps you stay cool and comfortable, you often times come into contact with our innovations in ways unseen.

This time of year inspires the best in all of us – encouraging us to find special ways to give back to our communities or to bring joy to those who might need it most. For Lakessa Wright, giving is something she makes a priority – no matter the season.

In recognition of our commitment to innovative, forward-thinking products and practices, Milliken & Company was honored to accept the SC Branded Legends Award, given by the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce and The Brand Leader earlier this month. The Legends Award recognized Milliken & Company as a community-minded company dedicated to advancing innovation, and perpetuating the values of hard work and giving back.
