History

The Dixie Group began in 1920 as the Dixie Mercerizing Company headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In 1965 the company changed its name to Dixie Yarns Inc., entering the high-volume tufting yarn market. In the late 1980s Dixie began a restructuring plan due to challenges in the textile industry. In 1993 it made its first major carpet acquisition, Carriage Carpets. In 1999 it sold remaining traditional textile operations to focus solely on floorcovering. In 2003 it sold broadloom carpet, needlebond and carpet recycling operations to concentrate on higher-end segments of the soft floorcovering markets. A separate timeline states that Dixie's entry into the carpet industry began in 1951 when it acquired Dalton Candlewick Inc., in Dalton, Georgia, and that in the early nineties the company began its strategy to become a major player in the carpet industry. The timeline also lists acquisitions and brand developments across the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s, including Masland Carpets, Fabrica International, and the establishment of the Dixie Home brand.
