Description:
Imagine investing in a company that’s not just selling rugs, but transforming an entire industry. At Simonian, we’re building a new model—local mini mills and workshops that deliver custom, premium rugs faster, greener, and with unmatched personalization. The U.S. rug market is $13B+, but nearly all rugs are imported. We’re flipping the script: sourcing and producing locally, supporting small farms and artists, and creating lifelong customer relationships with full-service care.
Your investment powers real change—reviving domestic manufacturing, creating new jobs, and building a scalable, high-margin business. Each new location unlocks fresh markets, recurring revenue, and the chance to double your return as we expand. Join us at the ground floor, and help lead the next wave of American craftsmanship.
