ABBEVILLE, S.C. (AP) -- A company that does screen printing and embroidery for promotional products is adding 50 new jobs at its Abbeville County facility.

Pro Towels said Monday that it was investing $2.5 million in the effort. Company president Kevin Nord says the company needs to expand to meet increasing customer demand.

Pro Towels is moving to a new 300,000-square-foot Abbeville County location that will house offices, a warehouse and production facilities. The expansion is expected to be complete by the first quarter of next year.

Company officials say the expansion will triple the facility's current square footage.
