History of Mountville Mills, Inc.
"Focused on customer service, on-time delivery & superior product quality
It's a reputation you can stand on, from Mountville Mills Inc."

The late Emmett Hart established Mountville Mills in 1963 in a small building just
outside of LaGrange, Georgia. Hart worked at Callaway Mills for 15 years in the
design and development departments before starting his own company at the encouragement
of his wife, Nancy.


Emmett and Nancy were among the first seven employees of Mountville Mills. Today,
the family-owned business maintains more than 400,000 square-feet in manufacturing
plants, and more than 350 employees at divisions in LaGrange, GA, Dalton, GA, Ronse,
Belgium, and Guangzhou, China. Mountville has come to be recognized as the leading
manufacturer of floor mats in the world, and its products account for about 35 percent
of the domestic U.S. production of specialty floor mats. Since 1963, Mountville
Mills has produced the finest, most technologically advanced mats on the market.
From our very first mats we've focused on customer service, on-time deliveries and
product quality.


When Emmett Hart passed away in 2000, an executive team made up of his children
was ready to move the company forward. Company President David Hart Jr. joined the
business in 1979, Susan Hart Ekkebus, Treasurer, joined Mountville Mills in 1980,
while Sherry Hart joined her brother and sister in 1984.
Increased sales show the demand continuing to grow for the company’s products. Mountville
Mills first expanded by joining forces with The Andersen Company in Dalton, Georgia
in 1999. Then, in the spring of 2004, Mountville Mills expanded to China. The company
opened a sales office in Guangzhou, which also serves as an additional logo mat
design center. Then in 2005, Mountville expanded its operations to Ronse, Belgium.
Mountville maintains a manufacturing and sales facility there to service the mat
needs of its European customers. In June 2007, Mountville’s China Sales office diversified
into manufacturing, focusing primarily on printed logo mats for Asia.
