Godfrey Hirst Carpets purchases Feltex
Two of the largest carpet manufacturers in the Australasian market are now one company. Godfrey Hirst Carpets has purchased the assets of Feltex Carpets, the largest New Zealand carpet manufacturer effective November 1, 2006. Feltex was established in 1921 and evolved into a carpet manufacturer in the 1940’s. Feltex was approximately the same size as Godfrey Hirst in yearly sales volume.
With the purchase of Feltex, Godfrey Hirst will be able to expand its operations into not only tufted carpet products, but also axminster and wiltons.
