MOHAWK Streamlines...and Old Friends.

Almost 21 years ago I went for my first job interview in the paper business.  That day I had lunch with Howard Olson, who would become my boss, and Rebecca Pilgrim, who would become my colleague and mentor.  With a nod to sentiment, Rebecca - who now handles specification and business development for Mohawk* in Atlanta -and I met last week for the first time since then in the same spot! 

It was a lot of fun to catch up with her and she spent time teaching me about the newest paper specification tool from their mill.  It's pretty different from anything we've seen in the past, and does an amazing job condensing a LOT of information into manageable parts. 

Over the last number of years Mohawk has grown and expanded their product portfolio through aquisition.  Brands like Beckett, Strathmore, Bravo, Kromekote and Carnival joined specifier favorites like Options, Superfine and more recent additions like Loop to create an incredibly diverse library of paper resources.  Time had come for streamlining the brands and simplifying the products. 


3 chip charts and a guide booklet come housed in a sleeve.

 Their very powerful online paper search tool can be found here.  But I'd encourage every Atlanta area Mohawk specifier to call us here at Mac Papers' and request a copy of the Streamline Introduction Booklet and 3 Chip Charts.  This will provide a great transitional reference guide before any new swatch books become available. 

In the meantime, hang on to your Mohawk (Beckett, Strathmore, Smart, Bravo, etc.) swatch books and fear not!  Just call 770-948-9959 if we can help you track down any paper you want but are having trouble locating.  Rebecca, thanks for the memories.  I look forward to what our futures hold!

*Footnote, this is MOHAWK - formerly Mohawk Fine Papers...not to be confused with the major carpet manufacturer here in Georgia!!
