ACL Airshop Plans Air Cargo Products Hub in Greenville, South Carolina
06/21/2018
Supporting the aviation industry, ACL Airshop is a subsidiary of Ranger Aerospace and has become a leading worldwide provider of fleet control, leasing, sales and repair services for ULDs. The company also manufactures cargo control products, operating on six continents and serving nearly all of the world’s top 50 air cargo hub airports. In the coming years, ACL Airshop plans to expand to serve a majority of the world’s top 100 airports.
Located in Park West Commerce Park, the 60,000-square-foot facility will feature high bay manufacturing spaces for air cargo nets, transportation straps and other products. Amenities for employees will include indoor and outdoor gathering spaces and a future workout center for fitness and health.
As an incentive, The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved a $100,000 Set Aside grant to assist with the costs of site work and infrastructure improvements.
“ACL Airshop has been growing for 35 years. This, along with many other growth investments, will propel us to an even stronger future. Aviation’s fastest-growing region in the world is the southeastern United States, and ACL Airshop is at the center of its multi-state crossroads in the Upstate of South Carolina. We are growing. We are hiring. This new factory is one of many improvements we are making globally on behalf of our customers and our employees,” ACL Airshop CEO Steve Townes said.
“At ACL Airshop, we are proud of what we have accomplished in the last 35 years and could not be more excited to continue our positive growth at a new facility in Greenville County,” ACL Airshop Executive Vice President Wes Tucker added.
“South Carolina’s economy continues to be a place where companies of all types can come here and succeed, and ACL Airshop’s new facility is yet another testament to that. We’re excited to see the growth of the state’s aerospace sector in the Upstate,”explained Governor Henry McMaster.
“ACL Airshop’s new facility is a welcome addition to South Carolina’s burgeoning aerospace sector. I congratulate ACL Airshop and Greenville County on this announcement and look forward to seeing the impact the growing aerospace sector will have on our state,” said Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt.
