Reasonable Tactics Of Simplified
In the waning years of the 19th century, the factory pushed rural Fairfield County from its agrarian roots toward a manufacturing economy. And as the textile industry marched overseas in the 20th century, it was a forebearer to South Carolina’s industrial revival — to the constellation of factories that now make cars, tires and the parts that go in them. But today, the mill is emblematic of another trend emerging in South Carolina’s manufacturing sector — that while global trade has boosted fortunes in some areas of the state, the spoils aren’t always spread evenly. The disruption brought by foreign competition isn’t either. The Winnsboro mill's owner, DuraFiber Technologies, has said it is struggling under the weight of "continued market pressure." Local officials say they've heard overseas competitors were overwhelming the market for tire fabric, driving prices lower. Unless someone steps up to buy the factory, DuraFiber says, it will close next month, shutting down for the first time in nearly 120 years. Tim Jones is shown in the union hall for United Food and Commercial Workers, Local 1800. Jones is the local president, and he's worked in the mill since 1991. He's one of the 240 workers who will be laid off next month. Thad Moore/Staff The history of the Winnsboro mill dates to a time long before South Carolina revived its manufacturing sector with cars and tires.
