ITECH South expanding operations in OC

ITECH South is expanding its plastics manufacturing operations in Oconee County. The $6.03 million investment is expected to create 34 new jobs at the company’s Westminster facility over the next five years. “Since beginning operations in South Carolina in 2008, we have been very pleased with our S.C. facility and the quality of workers we have. The expansion will enable us to better serve our customers and to continue to grow the business. The incentive package from Oconee County and the state was very helpful in our decision to expand,” said ITECH South President Carl Morris. The Palmetto State operations of Injection Technology Corporation (ITECH) provides a broad range of molding-based services to its diverse customer-base. Expansion of ITECH’s Oconee County facility, located on Highway 11, includes the construction of a 32,000-square-foot addition to the company’s existing building. ITECH will also be adding seven new molding machines and two new shipping doors to the facility. “The new jobs and additional investment from ITECH South are a welcome addition to our progressive and business friendly community,” said Oconee Economic Alliance Chairman Glenn Buddin. Construction is expected to conclude in the second quarter of 2015. Hiring for the new positions is anticipated to begin in September 2015.
