High-quality healthcare deserves high-quality innovation. From antibacterial fabrics to technically superior wound dressings, the quality and safety of materials in our healthcare facilities are essential.

The average person takes 23,040 breaths a day - in our homes, at work and school, and in the larger home we share, Earth. For up to 90 percent of them, we are indoors. From the floor coverings on which children play to the couches families curl up on to watch the latest blockbuster, the quality of the everyday materials that we surround ourselves with is ever more important.

For the last few months, we have enjoyed exploring the various ways Milliken innovation touches our daily lives. From routine activities to intricate operations, Milliken technologies advance the way we live, work, and play. Join us as we reflect on #EverydayMilliken on our Facebook and Twitter.

“We have a responsibility that is proportional to our power. Being sensitive to the human considerations is crucial in making ethical decisions. It’s not what you can do, it’s about what you should do.” - Damon Horowitz

Ethical integrity is core to who we are as a company. From our processes to products, our community of innovators seeks to advance ethical standards across the many industries that Milliken influences and serves. Most recently, our floor covering division has led the discussion of ethics as it impacts the architecture and design fields. 

Innovative leadership begins with investment and excellence in education and platforms that foster learning and collaboration. Partnerships with academic research teams, colleges, and universities set the stage to maximize research possibilities, push boundaries, and reimagine the status quo across industries. 

A New Year means new beginnings, new challenges, new adventures, and, of course, new resolutions. Outlining goals for the year ahead reorients our minds to imagine, aspire, and achieve things that at one time may have seemed impossible.

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.
