Having purchased the former needlepunch nonwovens plant of Performance Fabrics and Fibers in Andrews, South Carolina, in January 2012, Agru America has announced plans to substantially expand there, with an investment of $19.9 million that will create 77 new jobs.
A further 49 new jobs will be created at the company’s plant in Georgetown, South Carolina, with the erection of a new 40,000-square-foot building to house three new lines.
