Fiber Industries, a leading American textiles manufacturer, has announced plans to expand operations in Darlington County, S.C. The company’s more than US$ 30 million investment will create over 50 jobs. A full-service manufacturer, Fiber Industries produces polyester staple fibre for high-end performance fabrics, workwear, knit goods, the automotive industry and more. “We are excited about the continuing growth of our facility which is now even better positioned to serve the needs of the American textile industry,” said Fiber Industries CEO Don Bockoven. “We also are proud to be part of the wider effort to reshore jobs and bring textile manufacturing back to the USA. We thank the state of South Carolina as well as Darlington County for their unwavering support.” Currently employing more than 300 people and located at 1000 East McIver Road in Darlington, S.C., Fiber Industries’ expansion includes increased capacity through the restoration and modernisation of production lines. Fiber Industries will also use the additional investment to install state-of-the-art control systems and increase warehouse space. The company expects to complete the expansion project in early 2023.
