Mohawk Industries promoted Paul De Cock to president following current President Chris Wellborn’s plan to retire.
De Cock, current president of Mohawk’s Flooring North America, will assume Wellborn’s role Feb. 1, 2025.
“A strong organization requires effective succession planning that blends institutional knowledge, industry insights and fresh perspectives,” Mohawk CEO Jeff Lorberbaum said in a statement. “Our current leadership changes reflect this philosophy and provide continuity while adding new ideas to benefit our business. Chris has helped Mohawk expand into new regions and product categories over the past two decades, and he’s developed an excellent team,”
Wellborn joined Mohawk in 2002 through an acquisition with Dal-Tile and previously led the company’s Global Ceramic Segment. He will remain on Mohawk’s Board of Directors as vice chair.
“I have been honored to lead the Flooring North America team, and I am excited about the future of Mohawk,” De Cock said in a statement. “We have been focused on delivering an unprecedented array of new products to market and to finding new ways to help our retail partners improve their sales and margins.”
