COLUMBIA, S.C. –  JGB Brothers LLC (JGB Brothers), a food fibers manufacturer, today announced it is establishing operations in Bamberg County. The company’s $7 million investment will create 40 new jobs

JGB Brothers is a subsidiary of InterFiber, a family-owned and operated manufacturer headquartered in Poland.
