Shaw Industries Group, Inc. announced today that it has purchased Tricycle, Inc., the Chattanooga-based provider of digital carpet samples and floor covering tools.

Founded in 2002 in Chattanooga, Tricycle helps commercial interiors manufacturers, interior designers and architects visualize and sample carpet designs and colors in a digital format, reducing the need for as many carpet samples that generate more waste for most carpet retailers and wholesalers.
