The story

Doug Bremner formed the Bremworth Carpet Company and established a small carpet factory in Papatoetoe, Auckland, in 1959. UEB Industries bought the company in 1967. Tony Timpson and Grant Biel left UEB and formed Cavalier Carpets as an all-wool carpet manufacturer in Wiri, Auckland, in 1972. Cavalier Carpets bought Bremworth Carpet from New Zealand Equities in 1988, and the merged companies rebranded as Cavalier Bremworth in 1991. The parent company, Cavalier Corporation, changed its name to Bremworth Ltd in 2021.
