About Jeffrey Lorberbaum

Jeffrey Lorberbaum built Georgia-based Mohawk Industries into the largest flooring company in the world; he owns a nearly 15% stake.

His father Alan founded Aladdin Mills in 1957 as a maker of bathmats. Lorberbaum joined the company in 1976 and later became CEO.

In 1994, the family sold Aladdin to Mohawk Industries. Lorberbaum took charge of Mohawk in 2001 and expanded into hard-surface flooring.

The publicly traded flooring company is now in more than 170 countries and has completed 54 acquisitions since it went public in 1992.
