About Carolina Textiles
Carolina Textiles, headquartered in Walterboro, South Carolina, traces its roots to 1920 when Grossman Industries was founded in Columbus, Ohio. Now a fourth-generation family-owned business, the company began as a rag operation and has expanded through acquisitions: the Walterboro location opened in 1995, the Greer facility was added in 2013 via the purchase of American Wiping Cloth, and the Atlanta site came in 2016 with the acquisition of Mountain Textiles. The company manufactures and distributes cleaning cloths, towels, disposable wipers, and wiping rags in materials such as colored knit, fleece, terry cloth, paper, and microfiber. It offers hand-packed and machine-compressed packaging in 5-, 10-, 25-, and 50-pound boxes or bags. Across its three Southeast locations, Carolina Textiles diverts more than 12 million pounds of used textiles from landfills each year, repurposing them into wiping products. Customers span automotive, marine, industrial, janitorial, and food-service sectors. The firm sells primarily through a distributor network across South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Virginia, and also runs a thrift-store partnership program that converts unsalable donations into revenue. Management emphasizes its green heritage—recycling textiles since the business began—and a service model built on extensive product lines, convenient ordering, competitive pricing, and fast delivery, backed by a team with over 40 years of industry experience.
