WHAT WE BELIEVE IN AN ERA OF IMPERMANENCE, AN EXTRAORDINARY MOVEMENT HAS EMERGED. A MOVEMENT OF MAKERS WHERE CRAFTSMANSHIP AND PERMANENCE MATTER NOW MORE THAN EVER.
The Mohawk River Valley, N.Y.
Mohawk understands this maker movement because we embody its standards and values: high-quality materials, time-tested methods, ingenuity and careful execution. This is what we believe.
We believe a proud heritage comes with the responsibility to innovate. With nearly a century’s experience as our foundation, we stay true to the quality we are known for while constantly evolving.
We believe that meaningful results start with the mastery of materials. In order to produce the finest products, we use the purest pulps from sustainable sources and employ the best practices.
We believe that great work comes from having pride in the details. United by belief in what we do, each of us at Mohawk has an area of expertise and a dedication to our craft.
We believe in something greater than ourselves; in the common cause of community. We are part of the craft community, a thriving group of skilled and passionate makers. Together, we are creating great things.
HERITAGE AND INNOVATION WITH HERITAGE COMES THE RESPONSIBILITY TO INNOVATE, TO BUILD UPON OUR STRONG TRADITIONS; TO BE A LEADER IN OUR CHANGING WORLD.
