Trio Manufacturing Company today has 55 employees churning out 3 million pounds of yarn and twines a year, which was a weapons plant in the 1840s but has been a textile mill for the past 107 years.
Howell Newton, President of Trio and a great-grandson of J.W. Newton, one of the company's founders state in the last 11 years every part of the plant has been modernized.
The machines of this yarn and twine textile mill were all made in the United States was run by sheer manpower but now computer-driven machines are being operated which have arrived from Germany, Japan and Switzerland.
Trio used to employ 140 to 150 workers eleven years ago, prior to the systematic modernization.
Introduction of new machines make for a safer, healthier work environment and faster process that translates into more production at the end of a day's work.
About 2,000 different yarns, all 100 percent cotton and natural, are produced at Trio Manufacturing.
Each of these yarns are sold for further processing - either woven, knitted, tufted, made into fabrics for products such as blankets, rugs, sweaters, mops, twine and yarns for hand tufters or hand weavers.
All of the cotton undergoes additional cleaning at the plant, leaving some by-products that are resold for furniture or mattress stuffing or composted.
Spinning cotton into yarns and twines produces remnants that are 'seconds' used to make tar mops, another product at Trio.
