About Us

History
Carolina Cotton Works, Inc. opened for business in March 1995. CCW has faced many challenges since then, but we have responded by reinventing ourselves every few years. Fortunately, through hard work and dedication, our success has allowed us to add capacity nearly every year since our inception. The latest growth has been our entry into open width finishing allowing us to compete is several nonapparel markets, as well as our mainstay, dyeing and finishing knits and wovens which ultimately go into apparel.

All of our growth is a direct result of providing high quality goods and services to our loyal customers, to whom we are very grateful. We are optimistic about the future, and excited about the opportunities ahead domestically as well as through CAFTA. We are here to add value to our customers' business and promote their successes as well.
