Bamboosa will expand its operations in Williamsburg County, the S.C. Department of Commerce announced Friday. The $500,000 investment is expected to create 31 jobs at Bamboosa's facility in Andrews, where the company was founded.

"The company appreciates all of the assistance and help from Williamsburg County and is looking forward to help generate new jobs for the community," Morris Saintsing, co-owner and manager of sales and operations for Bamboosa, said in a S.C. Department of Commerce press release.

The expansion will allow the company to develop and add new product lines as well as increase capacity. The company already produces several clothing lines, including a line of baby apparel.

"We are simply delighted of Bamboosa expanding their company in our region of South Carolina. This is a major economic announcement for job creation and capital investment," state Sen. Yancey McGill of Kingstree said in the release.

Bamboosa, founded in early 2005 and based in Andrews, creates and sells clothing made from bamboo fibers blended with organic cotton. Along with a range of adult clothing, the company also offers baby apparel and products under the BambooBaby brand.

"The expansion of Bamboosa is exciting news for Williamsburg County. Their additional investment and creation of new jobs will benefit our county and its citizens," We wish continued growth for the company and thank them for being part of our industrial community," Williamsburg County supervisor and chairman of Williamsburg County Council Stanley S. Pasley said in the release.

"It's always great to see a South Carolina company grow and Bamboosa's growth in our state is a positive reflection of the innovation and entrepreneurial spirit that exists among the state's work force and small business owners," state Secretary of Commerce Joe Taylor said in the release.
