Matica Group, a global identity and payment solutions provider based in Switzerland, announced March 7 it will invest $2 million to establish manufacturing operations in Greer.
The company expects to create 40 jobs and will use its 38,000-square-foot facility at 2750 S. Highway 14 to manufacture central identification issuance systems, including large-scale card personalization networks and desktop models.
“We have had our sights on opening a factory in the U.S. for some time, since it is the world’s largest market for our specialized field of identification and payment solutions,” said Matica Group founder and CEO Sandro Camilleri. “South Carolina consistently ranks as one of the most business-friendly states in the U.S. and this, combined with our existing expert technical staff already being located here, meant that Greer made perfect sense as a location for our new facility. The local associations and authorities have been extremely supportive, and we feel very welcome and look forward to a successful future.”
Matica’s Greer operations are expected to be online in July 2024. The company has 200 employees and 11 facilities worldwide, including a technology support office in Greenville County.
