For more than a century, Greenwood Mills has built a legacy of quality. And for decades, Muratec has been part of that story.

At the Harris Plant in Greenwood, SC, that legacy is still in motion. Six Muratec VORTEX 870EX spinning machines and eight QPRO winders are helping drive meaningful gains in yarn quality and efficiency, spinning and winding yarn that ultimately becomes military gear and workwear.

It’s a powerful example of how advanced technology can build on tradition, strengthening processes that have been refined over generations. From raw cotton arriving in bales to finished material leaving the floor, every process at the Harris Plant reflects a commitment to precision, consistency, and performance.

But what stands out most is the partnership, the trust built over time, and a shared focus on doing the work right.

Muratec USA is grateful to the Greenwood Mills team for allowing us the opportunity to tell part of their story. Check out the snippet, then head to the link in comments for the full testimonial.

Before high performance or productivity, there’s safety.

Muratec USA’s recent Carolina Star certification—North Carolina’s highest workplace safety distinction—isn’t just a proud milestone for our team. It’s a meaningful signal of productivity and quality to our customers.

A safer workplace means:
✔️ More reliable processes
✔️ Fewer disruptions
✔️ Stronger, more consistent performance

In this new blog, our Safety Specialist, Ken Dake, shares what Carolina Star means to Muratec USA and why safety plays a critical role in innovation, quality, and customer confidence. Link in comments.

Another customer set to experience productivity like never before… ⬆️

This MW200, complete with integrated automation, has spent the last several weeks in our Charlotte, NC, shop, where our team of engineers and technicians have customized it for its next home.

Before it ships, there’s a lot that happens behind the scenes:
🔹Arrival from Japan
🔹Engineering to meet specific application requirements
🔹Run-offs to ensure performance and precision
🔹Final quality checks from the team who knows it best

And today, it’s all about the final step: packing.

Every panel is wrapped, and every detail accounted for.

Because when a machine leaves our shop, it’s not just primed to run, it’s ready to deliver.

Team Muratec kicked off the week with a visit from Daisuke Murata, president and CEO of our parent company, Murata Machinery Ltd.

Typically, his visits to Murata Machinery USA’s Charlotte, NC, headquarters are packed with leadership meetings.

However, on Monday, Mr. Murata made time to connect with employees, touring the building, asking about machines and projects, and sitting down at lunch with different teams to listen and engage.

It’s these moments, when global leadership and local teams come together, that truly define who we are.

We’re grateful to Mr. Murata for his time, his presence, and his genuine interest in our people.

“El Vortex es el futuro.”

Translation: “The VORTEX is the future.”

That’s what Muratec USA Field Service Technician Luis Aguilar told FilSpec machine operators during training on the Vortex 870, our high-performance air-jet spinning machine.

Luis led a week-long training session at the Kings Mountain, NC, plant, where FilSpec produces technical yarns for protective, military, and industrial fabrics.

The training was part of the North Carolina Community College System’s NCEdge Customized Training Program, coordinated locally by Cleveland Community College—designed to help companies upskill teams, boost productivity, and stay competitive.

Muratec USA is proud to partner in programs like NCEdge to build skills, strengthen teams, and power the future of manufacturing.
