FOLLOWING a difficult year in 2003/4, Ulster Carpets achieved a complete turnaround in performance by implementing a radical new business plan primarily concentrating on the top end segment of its traditional woven Axminster markets, retail and contract.

It also sold its subsidiaries in South Africa and Australia to accelerate its investment programme in world-leading Axminster technology at its Portadown site.

This enables it to achieve the high efficiency levels to compete against low labour cost countries such as China.
