The Calhoun, Ga.-based Mohawk, one of the world's largest floorcovering firms, announced the deal on Thursday.
The Daily Citizen in Dalton reports that Marazzi operates manufacturing facilities in Russia, the United States and Western Europe and employs about 6,300. Ceramic tile is among the world's most widely utilized flooring products, with an estimated worldwide consumption of more than 110 billion square feet and annual growth of 5 percent to 6 percent.
Mohawk officials say they expect the transaction to be completed in the first quarter of 2013, pending regulatory approvals.
