Interface has announced a multimillion-dollar investment in its Minto manufacturing facility in New South Wales, reinforcing its long-term commitment to local production, sustainability, and operational excellence.
The upgrade includes the installation of a state-of-the-art packaging line and an advanced yarn preparation system, aimed at enhancing production efficiency and product quality across the company’s carpet tile operations.
Strengthening a 50-Year Manufacturing Legacy
The Minto facility, located in New South Wales, has been producing carpet tiles for more than five decades, serving both domestic and regional markets.
According to Mark Dixon, Interface Operations Director for ANZ, the investment reflects a strategic move to sustain local manufacturing while meeting evolving customer demands:
“This strategic investment helps us continue our legacy, meet customer needs, create career opportunities, and stay true to our sustainability commitments.”
Enhancing Efficiency and Product Quality

By combining advanced technology with local production capabilities, the company is positioning itself to respond more effectively to market demands while maintaining its leadership in sustainable flooring solutions.
