Mannington Mills to Close Residential Carpet Business

Salem, NJ, October 28, 2025-Mannington will close its residential carpet business, which went to market under the Phenix brand.

The company announced today that it has made the strategic decision to transition out of the residential carpet business and will turn its focus toward the growth and innovation of its residential hard surface offerings, its hard and soft surface commercial portfolio, and its Amtico International business.

“The departure of Invista and the Stainmaster brand from the carpet fibers business, and the continued consumer shift to resilient flooring, has forced us to reevaluate residential carpet in our portfolio. This has led us to make the difficult decision to exit residential carpet,” said Tom Pendley, president and CEO of Mannington Mills.

The 110-year-old company entered the residential carpet segment in 2020 with the acquisition of Phenix Flooring in Dalton, Georgia and Pharr Fibers and Yarns in McAdenville, North Carolina. These acquisitions occurred at the beginning of Covid. It expanded its portfolio with the 2022 acquisition of Georgia Carpet Finishers in Chatsworth, Georgia.

Operations at all three locations will cease by the end of the first quarter of 2026, and reductions in force will occur as a result. The company plans to transition portions of its North Carolina yarn processing operations and Chatsworth finishing operations to the Calhoun campus and will focus on filling open roles there with impacted associates.The company will be able to use some of its assets in its commercial carpet business.

“We are grateful to our associates and our customers for their loyalty. While we are confident that this decision is in the best interest of Mannington Mills’ long-term future, it is an extremely hard one, as we understand the impact it has on our people,” said Pendley.

Mannington Mills will continue to run operations as normal at its Calhoun, Georgia; Madison, Georgia; Salem, New Jersey; Eustis, Florida; and Amtico International locations. 

Floor Focus estimates that Mannington's residential carpet business generated approximately $200 million in revenue at its peak split between the home centers and independent retail.
