Pratrivero USA Inc, a division of Pratrivero Nonwovens, is completing the relocation of its manufacturing operations to Orangeburg County, South Carolina.

The $17.6 million investment, including $6.5 million in buildings and $11.1 million in machinery and equipment, will create 34 new jobs within the next three years.

Based in Italy and family-owned for 14 generations, Pratrivero Nonwovens supplies fabrics used in a variety of industries, including furniture, advertising banners, footwear, packaging and the automotive industry.
Located at 3777 Industrial Blvd. in Orangeburg, Pratrivero USA's Orangeburg County plant will produce stitchbond, a nonwoven fabric produced by mechanically bonding layers of fibers with continuous filaments. The plant will also include distribution operations.

It is scheduled to be commissioned by September 2022. Pratrivero USA is working with the state readySC agency to source labor and personnel.
"Pratrivero USA is looking forward to becoming part of Orangeburg County's large family of industries. We are very excited about this new investment and believe that choosing such an important location and working with the wonderful people in this community will allow us to succeed," said Pratrivero USA President Paolo Barberis Canonico.
