Every day, we surround ourselves with products and materials that can influence our lives in ways seen and unseen. While it can be easy to see how their tangible experiences can enhance our every day, such as the comfort of cushion-backed carpet, more intangible attributes, like a PVC-free construction, can be less obvious yet are equally as important.

Soul food, Spartanburg, and success - all a part of the story of the innovative Spartanburg-native chef, Pamela Strobel. Affectionately known as Princess Pamela, Milliken is joining community partners to celebrate her delicious recipes as one of the sponsors of an upcoming authentic cookbook luncheon this Tuesday, May 23, 2017, at Spartanburg’s Hub City Farmer’s Market.

At Milliken, we invest in more than just our innovations. From our perspective, ‘doing good’ means directly impacting the communities where our associates live and work for the better.

As the weather improves and we book our calendars with outdoor activities, these five Milliken innovations are making spring activities, from school field trips to long-weekend road trips, more accessible, colorful, and environmentally conscious.

From carbon emissions to the sheer consumption of natural resources due to an exponentially growing population, the impact of human actions on the environment is continuing to compound.

As Milliken enters its 152^nd year with a continuing vision to create ground-breaking innovations that change the user experience, we are excited to announce Keystone Aniline Corporation as a new member of the Milliken family of companies.

The stories of our early, industry-leading innovations still make an impact today. Since 1865, Milliken has been innovating to do good for the world and create a new level of experience for our customers. Our diversified portfolio of meaningfully designed products is derived from our team’s ability to combine unique insights with our extensive knowledge as scientists.

Subfloor moisture is a $1 billion issue every year in commercial buildings. A result of rising water tables and/or improperly cured concrete subfloors, it’s also the leading cause of flooring failure - flooring that has peeled or buckled, has mold and mildew, or has loosened from the subfloor. 

As staycations and working from home become increasingly more popular, the phrase “home is where the heart is” rings truer than ever. A home is a reflection of one’s personality, one’s priorities, and the products that we fill them with impact our lives in both big and small ways. 

“How Milliken grows is equally as important as how much we grow – this is an integral belief that each Milliken associate holds, and that directs their work daily. It is an honor to be annually recognized for this perspective on a successful, values-based business.”
