This Friday, ACL Airshop, a global leader in custom unit load device (ULD) solutions, will officially open its new air cargo products factory in Greenville, South Carolina. Through a $7.2 million investment, the company is projected to create approximately 32 new jobs.

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.

Located in Park West Commerce Park, the 6,000 sq m 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 centre for fitness and health.

“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, “ said Steve Downes, ACL Airshop CEO.
