History of Company

On January 19, 1900, the first meeting of the subscribers to the stock of a new textile organization was held in Gaffney, South Carolina. The new organization was named Limestone Mills. In following years, five other plants were either built or bought, and the Hamrick group consisted of Limestone Mills, Hamrick Mills, Broad River Mills, Alma Mills, Musgrove Mills, and Paola Mills.

The Hamrick group continued to operate, complete with villages, until two of the plants, Limestone and Hamrick, were sold in 1947 and the name was changed to Limestone Manufacturing Co. Later, Broad River mill was sold to Dodgeville Finishing Company and Paola were phased out, reducing the Hamrick interest to Alma and Musgrove Mills. Following the concentration of holdings into a two-plant operation, with a central office on West Buford Street, Hamrick interests have continually made improvements at both the Hamrick Plant (the Alma Plant renamed) and the Musgrove Plant. These two modern, highly efficient plants, comprise Hamrick Mills, Inc. today.

Hamrick Mills, Inc. is a fourth generation family-owned textile company. The corporate office and two manufacturing facilities, the Hamrick Plant and the Musgrove Plant, are all located in Gaffney, South Carolina. The company is a leading producer of high quality, light to medium weight woven fabrics for use in the home furnishings, industrial, and apparel markets.

Hamrick Mills' mission is to serve customers by focusing on quality, innovation and superior service. Hamrick Mills will also strive to continually improve the operations of our company by implementation of technology or processes that increase customer satisfaction and add value to their products.
