Maples Rugs History

Since 1928, the Maples family has been manufacturing home textiles in the small town of Scottsboro, Alabama. We first went into business as the Maples Company making tufted chenille bedspreads, pot holders and robes. We later expanded into bath and accent rugs before selling the business to J.P. Stevens in 1963.

Three years later, in 1966, Wade Maples (current owner) and his father, got back in the business, opening Maples Industries and shifted solely to tufted rug production. This is where the focus remains today – and one of the reasons co-founder, Wade Maples, believes that Maples Rugs has lasted through so much consolidation in the industry. A keen focus on a quality tufted rug offered in a varied selection, along with reinvesting profits into the company, has served the business well.

Steady growth from that small operation startup in 1966 has led to two plants in Scottsboro, totaling more than 500,000 square feet of space today. Management still remains in the family. Joining Wade Maples is his son, John Maples III, co-owner with Wade.

A Leader In The Industry

Through this three-generational legacy, the Maples family has had quite the influence on the rug industry. To this day management remains highly involved in production of Maples Rugs. Maples Rugs remains on the forefront of tufted rug technology and has evolved through the years – from the first three-color cross-dyeing, to introducing highly dyeable BCF-nylon bath rugs, to computerized dyeing, tufting and rug printing.

Today Maples Rugs is still a leader in the industry and focuses solely on the tufted rug business. We are a major driver in our local community and proudly boast that all of our manufacturing happens in the USA.
