The Mill
Central Textiles
Central, South Carolina · Since 1984
Central Textiles is an integrated textile producer that has been in operation in Central, South Carolina since 1984.
Issaqueena, early 1900s
The mill originated in the early 1900s, when local businessmen created opportunities for employment at Issaqueena Mill — a textile operation that expanded on the nearby Norris Cotton Mill. It was later acquired by WestPoint Stevens, before being purchased by private investors in 1984.
A mill rebuilt, 1984
In 1984 the current owners purchased the old, existing mill and began a complete modernization, to make it a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility able to compete in today’s global marketplace.
The upgrades have been a continuing, ongoing process, with the installation of the latest generation in weaving technology.
