Fiber Industries LLC opening new operations in Darlington County
August 8, 2017
Fiber Industries LLC is preparing to open a new textile production operation in Darlington County. Expected to be operational in early 2018, this development is projected to bring more than $30 million of capital investment and lead to the creation of at least 135 new jobs.
A privately-held company, Fiber Industries was established by MHR Fund Management LLC, a New York-based investment firm, in order to restart the Palmetto Plant in Darlington, S.C. The management team, Andrew Rosenfeld and Leandro Carboni, has more than 60 years of combined experience in working at senior level positions in the chemical, oil and gas industries, along with strong backgrounds in financial, commercial and plant operations.
“Fiber Industries is excited about the opportunity to restart the Palmetto Plant and bring jobs to the Darlington area. The management team has been very impressed with the local workforce capabilities observed during its due diligence process. The support of the state and the local community has been an additional plus to help move this project forward,” said Fiber Industries Officers Andrew Rosenfeld and Leandro Carboni.
Located at 1000 East McIver Road in Darlington, S.C., the company expects to begin hiring for the new positions in the fourth quarter of 2017. Interested applicants should visit readySC™’s website for more information.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits related to this project.
