FORMER TEXTILE MILL REIMAGINED FOR E-COMMERCE COMPANY
Unique Loom’s location at 648 Wilson St., Chester, is expanding as the demand for their product has soared from both wholesale customers and direct e-commerce sales through their website www.rugs.com. They are hiring 150 new workers for a variety of positions, including Warehouse Associates, Operation Managers, Facilities Maintenance and an IT Network Administrator, to accommodate their growing demand.
Wages for warehouse associates will range up to $18 per hour. Additionally, Unique Loom offers employees a full range of benefits including 100% paid medical insurance, paid time off, matching 401(k) plans, employee discounts on products, plus vision, dental, life, short-term and long-term disability insurance plans.
“As we continue to invest back into our team members, company and community, we believe we are building a company that will have tremendous positive impacts for generations to come,” said Unique Loom Manager Steve Karasek. “The people of Chester County have proven to be outstanding individuals that have a desire to do more. We feel fortunate to be a part of this community and add value any way possible.”
“I worked for Springs Industries in Chester when I was a young man. It was hard but rewarding work,” said Dr. Wylie Frederick, supervisor, Chester County. “The factories closed as did many other industries. I am always gratified to see these former industrial buildings refurbished to support the growth of new companies, such as Unique Loom. They are a great company, and we are excited to see them growing and creating high quality jobs here in Chester County. Growth and expansion usually mean the company is satisfied to be here in Chester and that the company is prospering.”
“Chester County is a great location for e-commerce companies, such as Unique Loom,” said Robert Long, director, Chester County Economic Development. “With our location between Charlotte and Columbia, we offer great access to talent. We have a robust transportation network that includes the Highway 9 corridor and Interstate 77, and our proximity to the Port of Charleston is essential to Unique.”
