By eTextile Communications
Carolina Creative Products and Tryon Finishing (divisions of Carolina Creative Enterprises), Springs Digital, and Hamrick Mills announced a strategic manufacturing collaboration designed to reinforce premium USA-made textile production for home, apparel, industrial, and specialty brands.
Located within close proximity in Upstate South Carolina, the partnership connects Hamrick Mills’ woven fabric expertise, Springs Digital’s advanced digital textile printing capabilities, Carolina Creative Products’ soft goods manufacturing expertise, and Tryon Finishing’s specialized printing and finishing operations — creating a streamlined, fully domestic fabric-to-finished-product solution.
A regional manufacturing advantage
Hamrick Mills operates a vertically integrated manufacturing facility producing high-quality woven fabrics, including polyester/cotton blends and 100% cotton constructions. The company serves apparel, support apparel, home furnishings, and industrial markets with fabrics manufactured entirely in the United States.
Springs Digital, based in Rock Hill, S.C., offers advanced digital textile printing capabilities that complement the partnership’s woven fabric, rotary printing, finishing, and sewn-product manufacturing operations.
Carolina Creative Products, based in Greenville, S.C., specializes in large-scale cut-and-sew manufacturing of finished soft goods, including decorative pillows, bedding, table linens, shower curtains, pet beds, and other sewn home products.
Tryon Finishing, located in Tryon, N.C., provides critical printing and finishing capabilities that enhance fabric performance and final product quality. Services include fabric preparation (PFP), rotary printing, batch dyeing, finishing treatments, and production support.
Tryon Finishing bridges raw fabric production and finished goods manufacturing, reinforcing quality control and efficiency across the supply chain.
Together, the partner organizations provide a cohesive American manufacturing ecosystem integrating fabric development, digital textile printing, rotary printing, finishing operations, and sewn product manufacturing within a tightly aligned regional footprint.
“This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to advancing American manufacturing,” said Cameron Hamrick, president of Hamrick Mills. “By aligning domestic fabric manufacturing with advanced digital printing, finishing expertise, and sewn product capabilities, we are creating dependable, high-quality solutions that strengthen and simplify their U.S. supply chains.”
“This collaboration allows us to offer brands a rare level of vertical integration within domestic textile manufacturing,” said Naiden Kremenliev, CEO of Carolina Creative Enterprises. “Combining woven fabric production, finishing operations and sewn product manufacturing within the same supply chain creates advantages in speed, transparency, quality control and reliability.”
