Everywhere you look, you will find Milliken products in aspects of life and you will probably touch their products in a variety of ways almost every day. Their high-grade speciality fabrics which offer comfort and practicality whilst providing essential protection are used in automotive, military service, space and extreme environment exploration and many contact sports and tournaments. Their carpets and linens are found in many of the finest hotels and restaurants and their matting products are providing entrance doorway solutions in many commercial and public premises. Chemicals developed by Milliken give crayons and markers their colour and automobile dashboards their durability, everyday plastics and containers their transparency, durability and aesthetic appeal.
Milliken firmly believes that ethical practices will continue to drive our success as a company, which is why we do more than talk about doing the right thing. The focus, commitment and actions Milliken take raises the bar for ethical standards and has earned us a place on Ethisphere Magazine's list of the "World's Most Ethical Companies" nineteen years in a row, including 2025.
