Masland

Masland was founded in 1866 in a small Germantown, Pennsylvania dye house. The company grew from color mastery into weaving innovation, expanding into Wilton carpets, broadloom, seamless rugs, and automotive flooring for companies like Ford Motor Company. Under new ownership of The Dixie Group, Masland continues to advance while staying rooted in craftsmanship and design excellence.

Masland was founded in 1866 when Charles H. Masland, his brother James, and partner Joe Scargle purchased a dye house in Germantown, Pennsylvania. By 1868, they acquired an abandoned vinegar plant and named it Allegheny Dye Works, operating as C.H. Masland and Brother. In 1888, Charles purchased Amber Carpet Mills, bringing weaving into the company. The name evolved to C.H. Masland and Sons. In 1898, the company entered the Wilton weaving business. In 1919, C.H. Masland and Sons purchased the Carlisle, Pennsylvania Fair Grounds, and by 1928, operations fully relocated to a 150,000-square-foot facility. In 1922, Masland entered the automotive industry, selling woven carpet to Ford Motor Company. By the 1950s, Masland developed non-woven products.
