RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) -  An investment of $12 million and 38 new jobs are heading to Martin County, thanks to plans by AR Textiles Ltd. to ramp up North Carolina operations in over the next three years.

The company will produce cotton yarn in Robersonville.
 
AR Textiles is part of Sunflag, a global group of companies with international operations ranging from yarns, fabrics, garment and household textiles utilizing the latest technology and machinery.

The project was made possible in part by a performance-based grant from the One North Carolina Fund of up to $114,400. The One NC Fund provides financial assistance through local governments to attract business projects that will stimulate economic activity and create new jobs in the state. Companies receive no money up front and must meet job creation and investment performance standards to qualify for grant funds. These grants also require and are contingent upon local matches.
