Indian Land has a new manufacturing site on the way. Here’s more info on new jobs.

A new manufacturer plans to put a $1.5 million investment and 21 new jobs in Indian Land.

ClickFold Plastics announced the plan Wednesday. The custom plastics manufacturer makes parts like enclosures, housings, covers and panels. It was founded in 2000.

The new facility will be located in Bailes Ridge Corporate Park. The Indian Land site will have 15,000 square feet of manufacturing space.

The site should be up and running by late 2021.

In a release from the South Carolina Department of Commerce, company founder and CEO Patrick Oltmanns said the Indian Land site will provide a favorable location and layout for ClickFold.

“We’ve experienced strong growth over the past 20 years, and the need for a new building had become paramount,” Oltmanns said. “Our growth to Bailes Ridge Corporate Park in Lancaster County provides us with easy access to two interstates and Charlotte Douglas International Airport, which are critical to our efficiency.”

Jamie Gilbert, county economic development director, said ClickFold is an impressive company.

“Mr. Oltmanns represents the type of visionary entrepreneur and business leader that has become synonymous with Lancaster County and made us a premier location for companies seeking to turn their big dreams into realities,” Gilbert said.

Steve Harper, Lancaster County Council chairman, said the county should be pleased and excited to welcome the new company.

“Our excellent business climate and skilled workforce that supports a variety of manufacturers will be a significant benefit to ClickFold as they grow their operations,” Harper said. “We welcome ClickFold to our community and greatly appreciate their decision to choose Lancaster County.”

Anyone interested in working at the company can call 844-649-8665 or email patrick@clickfold.com.
