Ulster is a family owned company with more than 70 years of dedication to quality, service, and the
pursuit of excellence. Ulster’s advanced PSYLO weaving technology has made the jacquard

scale, consistency of product quality, and also offers reduced lead times. Designs with up to 25
colors are possible allowing for depth and texture in a one-dimensional surface.
The company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities are all based in the UK, operating under
environmental policies accredited by ISO 14001. The company has attained the Carbon Trust

“Ulster remains a family owned company with family ideals and ethics and is very much
committed to reinvestment in the business, explains John Louw, president of Ulster Carpets. “It is
”
for this reason that we have had such tremendous success in developing new technology that is far
ahead of anything that is commercially available. So also is our investment in NEWH. We believe in
the ideals of the organization and we are, of course, hopeful that in some small way our support
helps to grow discerning and well informed customers for the future.

Milliken Hospitality manufactures broadloom and modular carpet for all segments of the
hospitality market. In 2008, the company set up a design council, comprised of 15 hospitality
industry specialists from all over North America, to give feedback on product development, design
trends, and new design tools to make custom carpet design easier. Milliken Hospitality has been
focused on developing an exclusive selection of design tools, introducing several design collections
as well as launching a variety of new product technologies in order to help designers quickly create
custom carpet.
The first breakthrough was the award-winning étage technology. Using étage, designers can
combine different layers of pattern, add and subtract layers, and create vastly different looks out of
the same core pattern. The étage program has been further enhanced with the addition of the étage
website. The next addition to the Custom Made Easy toolbox was the PURE COLOR system, a box
of 1,360 colors that is a science-based system that brings designers unlimited color, while simplifying the process of choosing and communicating their choices to get the custom results they want.
Milliken Hospitality’s latest collections, Kenai, Del Lago, and Verde, which were recently launched at
the 2009 Hospitality Design Exposition & Conference are a combination of these technologies.
The latest news from Milliken Hospitality is that customers will not only be able to select from a
variety of new bases using MillitronTM Digital Dye Injection, but will now experience an expanded
choice of products for public spaces and guestrooms. Introductions include CYP for public spaces
as well as solution dyed tufted products and modular carpet tile for guestrooms.
“Milliken Hospitality is proud to support the continued development of the hospitality industry
through NEWH programs, says Steve Hillis, business manager, Milliken Hospitality. “We continue
”
to find NEWH to be a valuable source of industry knowledge and inspiration and we appreciate the
networking and business development opportunities provided by the chapter network.
