Cedar Hill Milliken Plant

What Cedar Hill Milliken Plant does

The Cedar Hill Milliken Plant is a manufacturing facility operated by Milliken & Company, located in the Cedar Hill area near Spartanburg, South Carolina, producing commercial flooring products as part of Milliken's Flooring division. The plant supports production of Milliken's commercial flooring portfolio, which spans carpet tile, broadloom and rugs, resilient flooring (including luxury vinyl tile), entrance flooring systems (OBEX), and the proprietary HybridFORM hybrid flooring line, alongside installation products such as the TractionBack adhesive-free system. Underlying these products are proprietary technologies including WellBAC cushion backing (documented to reduce muscle fatigue by up to 24% and extend product life up to 50% versus hardback tiles), PrintWorks precision printing technology for custom carpet tile design, the M/PACT global carbon offset program, and the N/XT Life second-life reclamation program for used carpet tile.

The Cedar Hill Plant operates within Milliken's broader commercial go-to-market, which relies on direct enterprise field sales teams with regional representatives, project-based quote pricing, and a Quick Ship expedited delivery program for time-sensitive installations. Customers span multiple institutional and commercial verticals — Education, Healthcare, Hospitality, Government, Workplace & Commercial, and Residential & Senior Living — with named engagements such as the Oakland International Airport installation that recycled over 50,000 square feet through a circular partnership. Distribution is direct-to-project, supplemented by regional sales rep coverage and Quick Ship logistics for the Americas and globally.

Milliken & Company itself is a privately held, 160-year-old diversified manufacturer (founded 1865) headquartered at 920 Milliken Rd in Spartanburg, South Carolina, with five operating divisions (Textiles, Chemicals, Flooring, Healthcare via OVIK Health, and Consulting) and a global manufacturing footprint spanning the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific. The company has executed multiple strategic acquisitions between 2020 and 2023 — including Polartec, Borchers, Encapsys, Andover Healthcare, Zebra-chem, and a South Carolina textile facility — and has been recognized repeatedly as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies (Ethisphere, 2024-2026), with EcoVadis Gold sustainability ratings and R&D 100 Awards for innovations such as the Milliken Assure non-PFAS moisture barrier.
