down to the company's ability to provide unmatched quality, durability and visually appealing products
more so than their competitors. “Couristan continues to thrive under the creative vision and innovative

individually. Couri explains that it was these past experiences that led to the company’s continued
success. One of his proudest achievements is remaining a leader in the area rug industry.

collections that match modern designs using material of the highest quality. As stated by George G.
