Mannington's Let's Make Noise Promotes American Jobs

U.S. Carpet Manufacturer Promotes American Manufacturing Jobs ~ Mannington’s Let’s Make Noise video posted on YouTube

Mannington Mills, a fourth generation family-owned flooring manufacturer and Carpet and Rug Institute member, has posted a video on You Tube that celebrates the company history and American manufacturing in general.

Titled, “Let’s Make Some Noise - An American Manufacturing Story”, the 2.5-minute video opens on scenes of abandoned factories and shuttered warehouses. Superimposed over the video are the words, “Too many places like this have been quieted in the US. Places that once made amazing things. But being quiet is not in our nature. It never has been.” Segue into shots of people and machines at work in busy facilities, and communities where people are leading productive lives. The narration features the voices of real Mannington employees.

In an interview on the flooring news website Floordaily.net, Ed Duncan, VP of Marketing for Mannington Mills, discussed the Mannington Makes Noise initiative with publisher Kemp Harr. He said the video, which has, at this writing received over 14,000 views on YouTube, communicates a message that resonates well with people, Duncan said. “It portrays the human side of keeping people employed.”

Duncan says Mannington has received numerous requests from retailers and other business groups to link to the video. “They get it,” he said. The video also received national media attention from ABC News’ Made in America series and national newspapers.

Thank you, Mannington, for this inspiring video.
