Description

The Springs Cotton Mill originated with the establishment of the Fort Mill Manufacturing Co., which opened its first plant in Fort Mill, SC, in 1888. Over time, the company expanded, opening additional plants in Lancaster, Chester, and Kershaw, SC. At its peak, Springs was the largest industrial employer in South Carolina. In 2001, Springs began a partnership with the Brazil-based company Coteminas, and in 2005, the two companies merged to form Springs Global. By 2007, Springs had ceased all manufacturing operations in South Carolina. The Springs Bulletin was a newspaper for Springs employees, providing updates on the company's plants, departments, workforce, and the cotton industry. It remains a valuable resource for those interested in the history and operations of one of South Carolina’s most significant industrial employers.
