The two biggest carpet manufacturers in the United States are Mohawk Industries and Shaw Industries: 

• Mohawk Industries – A major U.S. flooring manufacturer based in Georgia, often cited as one of the largest and best area manufacturers USA and the world’s largest flooring manufacturer overall. 

• Shaw Industries – Based in Dalton, Georgia, and owned by Berkshire Hathaway, Shaw is also one of the largest carpet manufacturers in the world and competes closely with Mohawk in the U.S. market.

Some industry sources list Shaw as the largest overall U.S. carpet maker by revenue, with Mohawk either close behind or leading when including global operations. 

What Is A “Rug” Called In The USA?

In everyday American English:

• A rug generally means a loose, non-installed floor covering that can be moved, rolled up, or changed easily.
  
  

• A carpet usually refers to wall-to-wall flooring that’s installed and fixed to the floor. 

So in the U.S., “rug” usually means a movable floor covering, often also called an area rug. Carpets and rugs can be similar materials, but the key difference in common usage is installation and size. 

Are Any Rugs Made In The USA?

Yes — many rugs are made in the United States, though the overall industry also includes imported products. Some American manufacturers produce rugs domestically, including broadloom and area rugs.

What Carpet Brands Are Made In The USA?

Several well-known carpet and rug brands based in or associated with U.S. manufacturing include:

Major U.S. Brands

• Mohawk / Mohawk Home – Products include carpets and area rugs; many rugs are manufactured in the U.S. under the Mohawk Home line. 

• Karastan – A historic American rug brand now owned by Mohawk (production shifted to Georgia after U.S. wool production ended).
  
  

• Shaw – One of the largest carpet producers with many products made in the USA (carpets and broadloom; rugs vary).
  
  

• Atlas Carpet Mills – U.S. carpet maker known for nylon residential carpets (less known for rugs, but a domestic brand).

Other U.S. Rug Makers

• There are also smaller and specialty U.S. rug producers (e.g., American Rug Craftsmen via Mohawk, plus smaller artisan and handwoven brands).
  
  

Note: Not all products from these brands are made in the USA — many companies import some rugs and carpets — but significant lines are domestically produced.

Yes, many Mohawk Home rugs are made in the United States. Mohawk Home is part of Mohawk Industries and has a domestic manufacturing footprint with products designed and produced in the USA. 

However:

• Some Mohawk products may also be sourced or manufactured overseas, depending on the specific line and retailer. It’s always good to check the label or product details for Made in USA claims.
