Full Job Description

The Company

Milliken is a successful global business, recognised as an international leader in textile products and specialty chemicals. They have significant manufacturing facilities in USA, UK, Europe and Asia. Their sales offices, development laboratories, Research and Development and technical support centres extend Milliken's presence throughout the world. With three sites in the UK, Bury, Wigan and Middleton, Milliken Industrials Ltd has built itself into a significant business with products that reach into many markets.

Everywhere you look, you will find Milliken products in aspects of life and you will probably touch their products in a variety of ways almost every day. Their high-grade speciality fabrics which offer comfort and practicality whilst providing essential protection are used in automotive, military service, space and extreme environment exploration and many contact sports and tournaments. Their carpets and linens are found in many of the finest hotels and restaurants and their matting products are providing entrance doorway solutions in many commercial and public premises. Chemicals developed by Milliken give crayons and markers their colour and automobile dashboards their durability, everyday plastics and containers their transparency, durability and aesthetic appeal.

Milliken firmly believes that ethical practices will continue to drive our success as a company, which is why we do more than talk about doing the right thing. The focus, commitment and actions Milliken take raises the bar for ethical standards and has earned us a place on Ethisphere Magazine's list of the "World's Most Ethical Companies" eighteen years in a row, including 2024.

Just look around. You'll see Milliken.
