History of Ulster

Ulster Carpets was founded by George Walter Wilson in Northern Ireland in 1938 and is still privately owned by the founder’s family. Ulster has taken the positive attributes associated with being a Family-owned establishment and combined them with a Forward-thinking, global approach to business. The result is a technologically advanced, service-driven company with flair, flexibility and a passion for quality.

 

Quality Assurance

All of Ulster's yarn is manufactured in their own spinning

plant in Dewsbury, North Yorkshire, enabling them to have total control over the quality of yarn and long-term

security of supply. Their woven carpets are quadruple-sheared and inspected three times, and all of the stock ranges have been upgraded in the last five years to a heavier weight 2 ply yarn. This improved yarn will enhance the durability of the carpet and its lifespan.
