South Carolina Textile Companies

Goals

To find textile companies in South Carolina.

Early Findings

  • According to SCIWAY, there are 12 textile manufacturers in 8 cities in South Carolina.
  • These companies range from weavers, apparel makers to yarn makers.
  •  ThomasNet's supplier discovery directory lists 36 textile-related companies in South Carolina. However, many are specialized and service niche industries like medical, food service, defense or other.
  • Some of the suppliers listed, like Elmore Products and Calitex, are more distributors than manufacturers.
  • As an alternative approach, ThomasNet also have a list of 16 suppliers of clothing located in South Carolina. These would be companies needing to source (or import) raw textiles for cutting and sewing into apparel.
  • Some companies are specialized, such as healthcare apparel/equipment, safety apparel or 'promotional' items. The most general clothing company in South Carolina, making general consumer apparel, is Soul Revolver.
