Positions to be filled include welders, CNC operators, production workers, powder coaters, installers, quality control, sales and administrative support positions.
"AAA Fencecrafters and Snaptight Aluminum are highly trusted brand names for quality fencing and railing products, and we are pleased to announce this exciting expansion of our operations right here in Greenville County. This organization's history is deeply rooted in South Carolina and we are excited to embark on this new era of growth and expansion here in our home state,” said Ron Allen, President of RPA Development LLC.
"We see tremendous growth potential both domestically and internationally for our brands, and are extremely appreciative for the supportive environment and helpful programs that state and local official have provided us in this growth initiative,” Jim Steinkirchner, Vice President of Business Development, RPA Development added.
Established by Founder Ron Allen in 1989, the company sells under the AAA Fencecrafters and Snaptight Aluminum brand names. AAA Fencecrafters installs wood, vinyl, chain link and aluminum fence products for both residential and commercial markets across the United States. Snaptight Aluminum manufactures aluminum fencing and railing products, and the equipment to produce those products, for both domestic and international markets.

We congratulate RPA Development on their investment and the 43 new jobs they are bringing to Greenville County,” said Governor Nikki Haley. As an incentive, The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved a $100,000 set aside grant for the project.
"As one of South Carolina's leading fencing and railing manufacturers and installers, RPA Development LLC refuses to be limited in its dreams and ambitions to become a national - and even international - player in the fencing and fence equipment arena. We salute their vision and commitment to excellence, and wish them continued growth and success, “ Dr. Bob Taylor, Board Member of the Greenville Area Development Corporation and Chairman of Greenville County Council.
