Staff Report

MARLBORO COUNTY – Bennettsville Printing, formerly Bennettsville Screen Printing, is opening a new location in Marlboro County, a $3 million investment that officials expect will create 40 new jobs.

“This new facility will allow us to meet increasing customer demand for our products, as well as move us closer to our suppliers. We are pleased to locate our facility in Bennettsville. We’re sure that Marlboro County is the perfect fit for our company and has an excellent business environment and strong work force. We appreciate all the support we’ve received from state and local officials,” said Victor Winogradow, owner, president and CEO of Bennettsville Printing.

Winogradow also owns Decorative Screen Printings, a Connecticut-based textile printing firm. Bennettsville Screen Printing was purchased by Bennettsville Holdings LLC and is in the process of locating its manufacturing operation in Bennettsville. The new facility will operate as Bennettsville Printing and expects operations to begin operations this month.

“Marlboro County applauds Bennettsville Printing’s decision to invest in the county. Their new facility will add 40 much-needed jobs. Members of County Council are well-pleased that they were able to provide a grant for logistical related expenses to Bennettsville Printing. This grant not only facilitated the creation of new jobs, but also preserved the existing 43 jobs at the facility. We anticipate a long and mutually beneficial relationship,” said Marlboro County Chairwoman Carolyn A. Prince.

The company expects to begin hiring for the positions within the next six to nine months. At that time, anyone interested in positions should contact the Marlboro County One-Stop Workforce Center at 843-479-4081. 

The S.C. Department of Commerce, Marlboro County Economic Development Partnership and North Eastern Strategic Alliance joined in the announcement.
