Shaw Contract Ramps Up Presence in Asia

Cartersville, GA, Feb. 14, 2012 -- Shaw Contract Group said it has opened a sales office in Shanghai, the first of three planned for Asia, to provide customers in rapidly growing Asian markets with greater access to its carpet tile.

Shaw's LEED-registered Shanghai space, pending Gold certification, will be followed by sales offices opening in Beijing and Hong Kong later this year.
 
“Designers, multinational corporations and local clients in China are pursuing some of the most interesting architectural and interior design projects in the world, and they are looking to Shaw Contract Group to provide design solutions,” said John Stephens, vice president of marketing for Shaw Contract Group.

“Our new sales offices in Asia will provide immediate access to our completely recyclable, PVC-free award-winning carpet tiles.”
 
Shaw Contract Group will break ground in April on a carpet tile manufacturing facility in Nantong, outside of Shanghai.

The facility will produce carpet tile specifically for Asia.

“Manufacturing in China and establishing greater sales presence there will open doors for new business relationships and strengthen ties to existing Asian Pacific customers and multinational
corporations,” said Tim Baucom, vice president of sales and marketing for Shaw’s commercial division.

“We’re building on our ability to deliver our EcoWorx carpet tile products designed for use
in any commercial environment, in any global market.”
