Five carpet manufacturers to compare for a hotel project are Shanhua, Haima, Tai Ping, Jiangsu Kaili and Dongsheng. Their official product information supports different routes across woven, tufted, modular and custom hand-tufted carpet. This is a construction-based shortlist, not a sales or capacity ranking. Match the proposed quality to your area schedule, sample and required test evidence before selecting a mill.
Key facts about sourcing hotel carpet from China:
- The main weaving clusters are Weihai and Rizhao in Shandong (woven and tufted broadloom), Jiangsu (Axminster and carpet tile) and Henan (tufted and printed carpet).
- Specify fibre blend, pile weight, backing and pattern repeat from the approved product data sheet and strike-off sample.
- Custom Axminster takes the longest from approved design to ex-works, machine-tufted broadloom is quicker, and standard carpet tile ranges ship fastest; each lead time is confirmed by the mill in writing.
- Carpet tile quantity per container is set in the load plan; broadloom roll dimensions and packing quantities must be confirmed for the quoted carpet, usually in 40 ft high-cube containers.
- Have the project team confirm the applicable fire-test method and acceptance criterion for each floor area, then obtain the matching product report.
Five Carpet Manufacturers: Published Product Lines and Buying Questions
1. Shanhua Carpet Group
Weihai Shanhua Carpet Group identifies its base in Weihai, Shandong. Its official company profile lists Axminster, Wilton, printed, carpet tile, tufted and handwoven carpet products. That breadth makes it a candidate to investigate when the schedule combines more than one construction; it does not establish that one quoted quality covers every area. Source: Shanhua company profile.
For a mixed package, ask which production line will make each specified quality and how pattern approvals, dye lots and dispatch dates will be coordinated. Compare the actual backing and fibre specification for the guestroom and public-area products separately.
2. Haima Group
Haima’s official profile places the group in Weihai and its product catalogue includes Axminster, wire Wilton, printed, machine-tufted, carpet tile and hand-tufted categories. The company describes hotel applications among its markets. These published lines support including Haima in a comparison of woven and tufted hotel carpet. Source: Haima company profile and catalogue.
For a patterned corridor or ballroom, request a strike-off showing the actual repeat, colours and construction. Ask the factory to confirm the approved design file, carpet width, seam plan and order-specific production slot rather than relying on the group’s scale.
3. Tai Ping Carpets
Tai Ping Carpets International Limited’s annual report identifies carpet design, manufacture and sales as group activities. Its published origin declaration identifies an artisan workshop in Xiamen, Fujian, for custom hand-tufted carpets. This gives a specific basis for considering Tai Ping for custom hand-tufted feature pieces. Source: Tai Ping annual report; Tai Ping origin declaration.
For a lobby rug or suite feature, define the dimensions, edge treatment, design placement and furniture interfaces in the sample brief. Compare a custom feature order separately from the volume carpet package so that its approval and delivery stages remain clear.
4. Jiangsu Kaili Carpet
Jiangsu Kaili Carpet’s official site lists hotel, commercial, residential and special carpet categories and gives its address in Liyang, Jiangsu. The site also describes design, research, production and sales activities. Its hotel category is a starting point for checking whether the proposed quality matches your room and public-area schedule. Source: Kaili official product and company information.
Ask the company to identify the construction and manufacturing location of each quoted item. For a phased fit-out, obtain a written sequence for samples, approvals and deliveries; the existence of a hotel range alone does not establish an available production slot.
5. Dongsheng Carpet Group
Dongsheng’s published product range includes Axminster, Wilton, tufted, printed and hand-tufted carpets. Its mill information distinguishes woven production at the Rizhao industrial park from tufted and printed production in other group operations. That distinction is useful when checking which mill and process will fulfil a mixed carpet order. Source: Dongsheng product range; Dongsheng mill information.
Record the actual producing entity on the quotation and match each sample and test report to its product code. If the bid includes several constructions, check the packing and shipment plan for each instead of treating the group catalogue as a single interchangeable product line.

| Kaili | Hotel and commercial carpet categories | Confirm the quoted construction and production slot |
| Dongsheng | Woven, tufted, printed and hand-tufted categories | Identify the producing mill and matching product report |
Which Type of Carpet Mill Fits Your Project?
Shortlist by the carpet construction and area schedule. Compare woven options where the design calls for a repeated pattern, tufted options where the approved specification permits them, and modular options where the maintenance plan calls for individual replacement. Obtain matching samples and quotations before assigning a scope to a mill. See hotel carpet types: Axminster vs tufted vs carpet tile for the construction comparison.
Two buying notes from procurement practice. First, always order pattern-repeat overage on patterned corridor Axminster plus attic stock, agreed at order stage: request a quotation for that allowance and confirm how the dye lot will be controlled. Second, carpet rarely travels alone — it usually ships inside a consolidated hotel FF&E package from China together with casegoods, seating and lighting, which is where a sourcing agent earns its fee (for suppliers you nominate, a 5% commission; for products we source for you, a direct price): one production schedule, one inspection plan, one consolidation point, one set of shipping documents. All quality control on FBM Sourcing projects is carried out by our own in-house team at the mill — pile weight checks, shade-batch continuity, backing adhesion and metre-mark verification — before shipment, with photo and video records. For projects that also carry hard flooring, our review of the top flooring manufacturers in China covers the SPC, tile and engineered wood side of the same package, and destination-market flammability paperwork is detailed in our guide to fire safety certificates for hotel FF&E sourced from China.

Evidence to Request Before You Shortlist
Mill websites all show the same hotel lobbies. Before any mill takes a place on your shortlist, ask it to put these items on the table together with its quotation:
- Type-test flammability certificates, with certificate numbers, to your destination standard — ASTM E648 Class I, EN 13501-1 or AS ISO 9239.1 — for the actual construction quoted
- The mill’s laboratory specification sheet for the quoted quality: pile weight, pile density and wear-test data
- A strike-off sample, and the written window from approved strike-off to ex-works
- Hospitality references at comparable square metres, with flags or property types named where confidentiality allows
- The dye-lot and overage policy in writing: pattern-repeat overage plus attic stock woven in the original dye lot
- CRI Green Label Plus or equivalent indoor-air certificates where your submittal requires them
- Loom availability and a production slot confirmed in writing against your fit-out programme
Include the supporting documents in the bid comparison and resolve any scope gaps before selecting a supplier. A complete file supports review, but it does not guarantee that a production batch will pass inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the top hotel carpet manufacturers in China?
Shanhua, Haima, Tai Ping, Jiangsu Kaili and Dongsheng publish carpet product lines relevant to supplier research. Compare the actual construction, sample, test report and production commitment for your area schedule. The list is not a sales or capacity ranking.
What is the lead time for custom Axminster hotel carpet from China?
Custom Axminster takes the longest from approved design and strike-off to ex-works, machine-tufted broadloom is quicker and standard carpet tile ranges ship fastest; the mill confirms each lead time in writing. Sea freight comes on top, so Axminster public-area carpet usually sits on a hotel fit-out's critical path.
What fire certifications should hotel carpet from China carry?
Have the project team confirm the applicable carpet fire-test method and acceptance criteria for each area. Obtain a report matching the quoted construction and backing; do not infer compliance from the mill name or a certificate for a different product.
How is quality controlled when sourcing hotel carpet from China?
On FBM Sourcing projects, all quality control is carried out by our own in-house team at the mill, covering pile weight and density checks, shade-batch continuity across rolls, backing adhesion and metre-mark verification, at the pre-shipment inspection, documented in photo and video records before goods are released for container loading.
