Milliken & Company, a textile manufacturer based in Spartanburg, will invest $27.4 million to expand operations in Blacksburg, the company announced Dec. 9.
The expansion at 157 New Milliken Road is expected to be complete by the end of 2022 and create 75 new jobs. It will include newly added production lines to increase the facility’s manufacturing capacity for the production of workwear, military and flame-resistant apparel.
“Expanding Magnolia Plant made perfect sense to us as a company,” said Milliken & Company President and CEO Halsey Cook. “This plant is on the cutting edge of manufacturing excellence and innovation, and Cherokee County’s support is vital to its operation. We’re grateful for the partnerships with this community and the state, and we’re proud to call South Carolina home.”
