As we reflect on another year of innovating to explore, discover, and enhance people’s lives – we have much to celebrate! This year, we were honored to receive a plethora of prestigious industry awards; humbled by our associates’ continued commitment to ‘doing good;’and energized by our noble advancements in health and safety.

Our associates’ passion to make a direct impact in the communities Milliken serves is more than inspiring. Most recently, nearly 50 associates from our Performance Products division came together to revitalize the first paved trail in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the home of our corporate headquarters.

With intentional planning and a focused imagination, this year’s gift exchange can further your child’s unique spirit of innovation and creativity. 

We invite you to engage in Milliken’s passion for discovery when considering what to place under the tree and fill in your family’s stockings. The fuel behind innovation at Milliken is creative, inspired engagement that celebrates the art of problem solving.

For Milliken, ‘doing good’ means directly impacting the communities where our associates live and work, for the better. It means being a true environmental steward, which involves more than doing the “necessary minimum” – but going beyond to actually better the world around us. It means manufacturing products that keep our families safe and healthy. It means engaging imaginations, pushing limits, and demanding solutions to widespread problems. It means committing to processes that respect people, respect our environment, and respect our world.

While you’re hustling and bustling through shopping malls, making your lists and checking them twice, and carefully wrapping under-tree treasures, we’re reminded of the brilliant minds, innovative discoveries, and meaningful designs that bring value to our most cherished holiday celebrations.

The InnoVision Awards program has been distinguishing South Carolina businesses for excellence in business leadership, technology, and innovation for nearly two decades. Four Milliken innovations were among this year’s award finalists, championing revolutionary technologies that are influencing a multitude of industries today.

‘Tis the season for festive gatherings decked with mistletoe, silver bells, and joyful hearts. As you prepare to welcome guests, friends, and family members into your home, consider easy ways to simplify the art of hosting, while making visitors feel warmly welcomed. After all, there’s no place like home for the holidays.

Whether you choose to cover your Thanksgiving table with a full sophisticated cover or simply incorporate pops of colors with cloth napkins, fabric linens infuse elegance and beauty into any holiday gathering.
