Vapor Apparel, a manufacturer of performance apparel and provider of digital print-on-demand services, is opening a 30,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Union County, South Carolina. This marks a major step for the company that focuses on sublimation printing solutions and performance fabrics. The facility will house the company’s domestic cut-and-sew division, which is a rapidly expanding part of the company’s product line.
Founded in 2004 and headquartered in North Charleston, S.C., Vapor Apparel is experiencing rapid growth and has been named one of the 25 fastest-growing companies in South Carolina twice within the last five years. The establishment of this Union County facility will complement the company’s existing production facility located in North Charleston, South Carolina and expand its e-commerce fulfillment and print-on-demand services. The investment is expected to create 114 new jobs over five years.
Vapor Apparel’s Union County operations are expected to come online in the first quarter of 2015. Hiring for some of the new positions is expected to begin in the spring. readySC™, a division of the S.C. Technical College System, will be assisting with recruitment and training for the open positions at Vapor’s Union County facility.
