One of the largest contract embroidery and screen print firms in the United States has announced the expansion of its C&W Embroidery operations in Alcorn County.
According to C&W Companies, the expansion is a $2.4 million corporate investment that will create 32 new jobs once the project is complete.
To accommodate future growth, the company is constructing an approximately 15,000-square-foot building on the property, renovating existing buildings, and investing in new equipment.
“Mississippi welcomes C&W Companies’ investment into its embroidery business in Corinth, as well as the dozens of job opportunities that it will create for Alcorn County residents,” Governor Tate Reeves stated. “We’re committed to providing businesses like C&W Embroidery with the supportive economic climate necessary to continue growing, expanding, and achieving further success. Mississippi is open for business.”
C&W Embroidery specializes in the embroidery, screen printing, and digital printing of logos on apparel, headwear, and footwear.
“The company has experienced significant growth coming out of the pandemic and the capital investment and expansion plan will continue to drive future growth, profitability, and community development,” C&W Companies Owner and Vice-President Will Carnell said. “Our people are the key to our success, and we look forward to adding to our talented workforce.”
At this time, C&W Embroidery’s customers include Nike, Johnnie-O, Carhartt, Outdoor Cap, UniFirst, and more than 50 colleges and universities.
The Mississippi Development Authority is providing assistance for building construction and renovations. The town of Rienzi and Alcorn County also will assist with the project.
