Our Home

For almost 90 years, Ulster Carpets has called Portadown, Northern Ireland home.

Since 1938, our carpet has been designed, dyed, woven and finished from the same site in Northern Ireland. While our products can be found in casinos, homes and hospitality spaces around the world, our roots remain firmly here, where generations of expertise, craftsmanship and care continue to shape everything we do.

As a fourth generation family business, we believe exceptional products are created by people who stay connected to their craft. Designers, colour specialists, planners, technicians, engineers and weavers work together across our business, combining creativity, skill and experience to bring every project to life.

Our Axminster and Wilton carpets are proudly manufactured in the UK, primarily at our home in Portadown, Northern Ireland.

Additional manufacturing and engineering expertise comes from GTM, part of the Ulster Group, where specialist teams develop and support the advanced weaving technologies used across our operations. Together with Ulster Yarns in Yorkshire, these two Ulster Carpets Group companies ensure every stage of our woven carpet production is connected by shared craftsmanship, innovation and expertise. Our Tufted Loop carpets are manufactured by Danfloor in Denmark, another company within the Ulster Group, bringing specialist tufting expertise alongside our weaving, yarn production and engineering capabilities. Together, our businesses form a network of skilled people and manufacturing excellence dedicated to creating exceptional carpets.
