Cavalier Corporation Limited is a New Zealand company specializing in the manufacturer of broadloom wool carpet. Floated in 1984, the company was once included in the NZX 50 share index, as one of New Zealand's 50 largest public companies. As of December 2015 Cavalier had a market capitalisation of just under NZ$42 million, down from $167 million in May 2010.[2] It left the NZX50 due to lack of market capitalisation in January 2013.[3]
