COLUMBIA, S.C. – Thrace-LINQ, a global supplier of fabrics for the textile industry, is expanding its Dorchester County, S.C., operations. The $9 million investment is expected to create at least 10 new jobs.

 

Thrace-LINQ manufactures nonwoven fabrics used in a variety of textile applications, including geosynthetics, automotive, construction and floor covering. With its North American headquarters, manufacturing and distribution center in Summerville, S.C., Thrace-LINQ is a member of The Thrace Group of Athens, Greece.

 

"This new production line is one of a series of planned investments for our growing company here in South Carolina. The Thrace Group continues to invest in people and technology, and we are excited about the future of Thrace-LINQ," said George Braimis, Thrace Group COO and Thrace-LINQ chairman.

 

Thrace-LINQ will begin the installation of a state-of-the-art production line in early 2018.

 

"Our workforce has shown that it's the best in the world, and announcements like this one continue to boost South Carolina's reputation on the global stage as a state that can get any job done,” said S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster. “We've worked hard to create a competitive, pro-business environment, and our efforts continue to pay off."
