Lorberbaum Honored with EY Lifetime Achievement Award

Dalton, GA, June 25, 2016—Mohawk Industries’ chairman and CEO Jeff Lorberbaum was honored with the EY Lifetime Achievement Award in the Southeast U.S. region.

Lorberbaum joined Mohawk Industries in 1994 after the company merged with Aladdin Mills, the carpet and rug company his parents founded in Dalton, Georgia. Under his leadership as first CEO and then chairman and CEO, Mohawk has grown to become the world’s largest flooring company with 2015 sales of more than $8 billion and more than 34,000 employees worldwide.

The EY awards honor entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities. Award winners are selected by a panel of independent judges, most of whom are past Regional Entrepreneur of the Year award winners.

The black-tie award ceremony was held on June 23 in Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and attracted an audience of several hundred business leaders from across the region.
