According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a major flooring company is looking to build a plant in northwest Georgia, resulting in an estimated 2,000 new jobs. The report said that while the deal is still pending, an announcement could be confirmed within two weeks. The name of the company was kept quiet, but sources did say that it was not Mohawk or Shaw Industries.

The AJC did say that, former Shaw Industries head Bob Shaw, founded Engineered Floors, and is looking to expand his business.

Engineered Floors has plants currently in Dalton and Calhoun.

Gov. Nathan Deal even hinted at a major job announcement on Monday, but would not comment any further.

This news comes following huge moves in the carpet businesses over the past six months. Mohawk acquired three companies: Pergo, the laminate flooring maker; Spano Invest NV, a Belgian maker of chip and melamine board and tile maker Marazzi Group.
