►Dorsett was the first US carpet manufacturer to successfully extrude solution dyed polypropylene and BCF solution dyed nylon (this division has subsequently been sold).  

►Dorsett was the first carpet mill to extrude and manufacture a BCF Olefin yarn for outdoor & marine applications.  This was introduced in 1987.  

►Dorsett’s former sister company, P&G, was the first company in the carpet industry to recycle carpet waste into needle punch products for commercial carpet padding and automotive underlay.

We are committed and engaged to minimize and direct our manufacturing waste to facilities that recycle our waste for other applications.

We are developing a carpet floor system that is not only comprised of recycled material but can be easily recycled for re-use several times over.

Dorsett Industries has long been known for its product innovations within the carpeting community.  Among the unique new products we have introduced to the carpet trades are:

First UV Stabilized BCF (Bulked Continuous Filament) Polypropylene

Dorsett was the first mill to develop a BCF polypropylene yarn system with UV stability that could be used in an outdoor product for the marine industry.  This was introduced to the marine trades in the fall of 1987.

First Stainless BCF Commercial Nylon Yarn System

Dorsett pioneered the first BCF Stainless Nylon yarn system to the commercial carpeting trades in January of 1988.  This product carried a No Stain warranty, even in high traffic commercial installations.

Dorsett has been in the forefront of product innovation for many years now.  As the future unfolds you can look for Dorsett to continue its philosopy of being on the very cutting edge of new technology.
