Moose Logistics & Distribution establishing operations in Horry County

More than $2.6 million investment will create 75 new jobs over the next five years

Moose Logistics & Distribution, a custom athletic sock distributor, today announced plans to establish operations in Horry County. The company’s more than $2.6 million investment will create 75 new jobs over the next five years.

Moose Logistics & Distribution, a subsidiary of UET International, creates custom logos for athletic socks, distributing to various suppliers in the United States. The company supplies licensed socks for NFL and NCAA teams to Amazon, Costco, Sam’s Club and other major retailers, along with its recently acquired Strideline brand products.

Located at 3537 Franklin St. in Loris, Moose Logistics & Distribution’s new facility will be the company’s first operation in South Carolina. The facility will start production of sock sublimation as well as "pick and ship" for other customers.

Operations are expected to be online by March 2023. Individuals interested in joining the Moose Logistics & Distribution team should visit SC Works.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $50,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund (RIF) grant to Horry County to assist with building improvements.
