RUGS OF CREVILLENTE
A city of rug tradition, birthplace of the national industry
City of Rugs, Crevillente
This town located in Alicante, with around thirty thousand inhabitants, has been the protagonist of the rug industry for generations.
Crevillente is considered to be the city of rugs, since the most important companies in Spain in the manufacturing and marketing of rugs and carpets can be found in its municipality.
The "Rugs of Crevillente" quality certificate
Crevillente has its own quality seal for rugs, a distinction that endorses the guarantee of the rugs that have it, since they pass different controls that stipulate the technical parameters that must be complied with.
There are three types of labels that distinguish Rugs of Crevillente depending on the type of material from which the rug is made. The green symbol corresponds to wool, the red to acrylic and the blue to polypropylene.

Unitrama is one of the most important companies in the rug industry, leader in marketing both in Spain and the rest of the world.
Since its inception in 1983, it has established itself as one of the most prominent Crevillente rug brands, with branches and distribution in different countries on several continents.
Rug tradition in Crevillente, with centuries of history
Before the industrial peak of the rug in Crevillente, handcrafted rugs were made in this city long before the mechanical looms arrived. For centuries, there was talk of straw and reed mats, which were handcrafted, in what is known as the beginning of this tradition, which was gradually industrialised with handlooms and later mechanical ones.
Today, Crevillente is the main exporter of rugs and carpets in Spain, a position it has held since the 80s and 90s when 90 per cent of Spanish production came from this town in Alicante.
The Rug Fair in Crevillente
As the birthplace of rugs, Crevillente celebrates the Rug Fair, in which the latest trends in carpets and rugs are displayed and the value of the industry is highlighted, with a glimpse of the development of forms of production.
It is celebrated taking advantage of the local festival of Moors and Christians and is organised by the Union of Manufacturers of National Union of Manufacturers of Rugs, Carpets, Coatings and Related and Auxiliary Industries, UNIFAM, together with the City of Crevillente and several of the most important companies in the sector located in the town.
