Sigmatex Carbon Textile Solutions Expands Cameron, South Carolina, Headquarters & Operations
12/18/2020
Sigmatex's expansion, expected to be completed by June 2021, will make the Orangeburg County facility the company's North American headquarters and will include immediate investment in machinery and equipment, increasing capacity from 750,000 yards per year to three million yards per year.
"At the heart of our business is our people. Since the day we decided to locate our business in S.C., we have been delighted with the skill and commitment of the local people we've brought on board, and that's what made our decision to invest further into S.C. an easy one. The plant in Orangeburg will be our flagship operation, with industry-leading equipment, innovative new products and highly capable people. We believe it will be a recipe for success. We are grateful for the support of the Orangeburg County Development Commission and the South Carolina Department of Commerce and look forward to a thrilling next six months as we bring our plans to fruition,” said Sigmatex CEO Paul McMullan.
"When companies invest and grow because they see the value in the local people and support network, it reinforces that we have something amazing beating in the hearts of our communities. As a newer company with its original location in the county, Sigmatex's announcement today is proof that existing industries can find great success in Orangeburg's Global Logistics Triangle. Thank you Sigmatex for your dedication, and congrats to you and Orangeburg on many more successful years ahead,” added Central SC Alliance Chairman W. Keller Kissam.

"Orangeburg County is thankful for the additional investment Sigmatex is making in their existing plant located in the John W. Matthews Jr. Industrial Park on U.S. 301. The impact will create well-paying jobs for another 50 employees and for that, we are grateful. The fact that Orangeburg County will become the U.S. operational headquarters for Sigmatex is testimony that Orangeburg County has what it takes to be successful,” said Orangeburg County Council Chairman Johnnie Wright Sr.
