We all need a little good news these days, and how sweet it is when it comes from one of our good friends, Bamboosa, of Andrews, South Carolina. We chose Bamboosa for all of our organic bamboo/cotton T-shirts, first because of their commitment to local, ethical manufacture, and second, because their quality and service is outstanding.

It appears that we're not the only ones who think so highly of them, since they've just announced a major expansion. So not only will more people be able to enjoy high quality, sustainable, eco-friendly products, but it means a big boost for their local economy. Congratulations to all the team at Bamboosa!

Here is their Press Release, and be sure to visit their website for all kinds of great bamboo products.

PRESS RELEASE: Bamboosa announces expansion in Williamsburg County

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 Bamboosa looks forward to supporting new job growth in 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.
