We are the oldest family owned carpet manufacturer in the United States. We design and manufacture high quality hospitality, main street commercial, senior living and residential carpet at affordable prices. Life is hard, your floors shouldn't be. The story of Shaheen Carpet Mills actually begins even earlier than 1964 with a previous Shaheen family mill- Katherine Rug Mills, founded in 1946. Katherine Rug Mills was later sold and out of it came several new mills– World Carpets, Coronet Industries, and Shaheen Carpet Mills. A lot has changed since 1946, but at Shaheen Carpet Mills, we still believe in providing quality and value. Founder Said Shaheen immigrated to America, seeking a better life for his family. He believed in hard work and worked at the mill until his death in 2008 at the age of 93. Today his sons, Jim and Frank, continue his work running the family business– Shaheen Carpet Mills.
