Mohawk Launches Reinvention Plan, Streamlining Paper Lines

“Now, we’re making envelopes at the rate of 30 million per month,” he said. O’Connor explained that Mohawk is now better able to service its customers, fill an unmet need in the marketplace, and achieve substantially higher operating margins.

• In the consumer marketplace, O’Connor pointed to Pinhole Press, Mohawk's site for photo products launched in 2010. Pinhole products have been featured in consumer outlets such as Real Simple and Martha Stewart Living. This business, he noted, took 7,000 orders in the last six weeks of 2012. Pinhole Pro, a related offering to the professional photography community, was launched last month.
