About Dundee Mills/Springs Industries:

Originally formed in 1888 and operating under various names throughout the years, Dundee Mills was a textile mill located in Griffin, Georgia.  Operating six plants to support manufacturing, the company produced various goods and products throughout the years although Dundee’s primary products produced were bath towels and accessories.  Springs Industries purchased Dundee Mills in 1995 where it continued to operate until 2009.

The Dundee Community Association (DCA) was founded in the 1940’s by Dundee Mills to provide benefit to employees and the local community.  Through the years, DCA provided scholarships and benevolence to Dundee Mills and Springs Industries employees and made significant annual contributions to many Spalding County charitable organizations.  DCA has supported Southern Crescent Technical College for many years through donations to its educational programs, including the Adult Education Program.
