WELCOME TO OUR NEW THREADS PLATFORM! This is a really meaningful advance in our internal communications with everyone in the company, so I wanted to take a minute to let you know what we’re doing and why. As everyone knows, Threads is our company intranet, which means it is our internal communications vehicle. We’ve always used Threads as a document library where you can go if you need a photo, a copy of our logo or some document. We’ve also used it as a platform for various sorts of recognition or company news, but it never really lived up to its potential as a way to communicate with each one of you about the very full range of things that happen here, every day that are actually interesting and that should be important to you. That’s what we decided to change with this update. Take a look and see what we have in mind.
Thanks, DAVID
MOMENTUM NEWS
Our goal was to completely revamp Threads so it becomes our internal News Network.A place you can check into each day, to see what’s going on everywhere in the company. Of course, the first thing we found out when we looked into it was that our existing platform was a bit out of date and had to be improved. We invested in a new platform so we can do a better job of filling it with the sort of content it should include. We’re starting small in terms of content, but I expect this new Threads to grow a lot over the next 12-18 months. My hope is that we’ll have it so full of interesting content that you’ll feel like you missed something if you didn’t check it out at least once a day. Personally, I won’t be happy with it until we get it to that point, and my hope is that it becomes so rich with content that we eventually have to hire an Editor to manage it.
HERE'S MYVISION FORWHATTHREADS CAN BE.
I want to give you regular updates on Company News . This would include information on some of the great projects where our products are used, and list is really impressive.
New Product Launches No one in our industry develops and launches more truly ground- breaking new products than Momentum. I want you to be able to visit Threads and see all the great new things we design, develop, and launch so you get a clear view of how impactful our company is on this industry. It’s one thing to say we’re the leader, but it really takes on a special meaning when you can see how and why.
New Partners, Mills & Design Collaborators
We work with some of the most prestigious mills and factories in the world and many of them have interesting stories to tell. For example, we work with one mill that brought over some historic, one-of-a-kind cut velvet looms from France.
We have another strategic partner that has unique wallcovering machinery dating back to the late 1800’s. These machines make things that modern technology can’t duplicate. No one else has anything like this.
And, of course, on the other end of the spectrum, we have suppliers who are making products on equipment generations ahead of the game in terms of impressive, new technologies.
We’re also working on collaborations with world famous, super talented designers from different parts of the world who want to work with us on special designs for textile and wallcovering products and in our new digital product area.
AND YOU’LL LEARN ABOUT THESE THINGS ON THE NEW THREADS.
Recognition The team we’ve built over the past few years is full of super stars, at every level, at every location, across the entire country. However, since the pandemic, we all don’t really know each other yet. We can bridge that gap with the new Threads. As people accomplish noteworthy things, win awards, get promotions, develop new skills, reach career milestones, etc, we will do feature stories so we can share those achievements with everyone. HR Clearing House Threads can be a good, centralized location for lots of basic Human Resources information, so you don’t have to go on a wild goose chase when you’re looking for simple information. Team Building In the past year, we’ve expanded our "Fun In The Workplace" program and we’ve had some really great events at just about every one of our locations. I just got back from Irvine and saw Chris Stone flipping burgers better than Guy Fieri on his TV show "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives". You’ll be able to see what we’re doing everywhere on Threads.
Our Marketing team is about to invest in some new, state-of-the-art equipment that will put us light years ahead of our competitors when it comes to sampling technology. When that’s set up, you’ll be able to learn all about it on Threads. We’re also about to launch a new line of Acoustic products that, I believe, will give us the most powerful portfolio of Acoustic products in the business. That one is right around the corner and we’ll definitely do more than one Threads feature on it.
Advances in Equipment & Technology We’re constantly investing in things that keep us at the forefront of our world. For example, we recently completed the move of our Digital Printer from Memphis to Greensboro. We completed a very impressive construction project within the ware- house and set up a new, in-house digital wallcovering business which is doing some really exciting work for an impressive list of customers. Soon you’ll be able to see a feature about that on Threads and we’ll update it periodically.

AND THERE WILL BE MORE. But for now, I’m so happy to get our new Threads launched with an updated look, an easier to navigate structure and a considerably expanded scope of content. And, of course, we’re always interested in hearing about things you’d like to see and whenever possible, we’ll try to build those things into Threads as well. CHECK BACK REGULARLY, BECAUSE WE’LL BE UPDATING IT OFTEN.
