Charlotte company moving to York County will bring 160 jobs, $11.5 million investment
Komar Industries said Wednesday it will move a subsidiary company from Charlotte to York, bringing 160 jobs and $11.5 million of new investment to York County.
Komar makes balers, compactors, shredders, flatteners, separators and other large industrial waste equipment. The company will move Bace, a baling and compacting company Komar bought four years ago, to a building at 200 Ratchford Road in York. Bace was founded in 2006.
The move puts Ohio-based Komar in South Carolina for the first time. Operations should be running by July. The company is hiring now on its online career page.
Along with job development credits, the South Carolina Coordinating Council for Economic Development also provided a $150,000 grant to York County to go toward building improvements for the company.
The Ratchford Road site is 21 acres of property just west of York Comprehensive High School. A nearly 188,000-square-foot warehouse there was built in 1979.
York County sold the property to Champion Laboratories in 2011, but that company sold if four years later. The building last sold in 2016, according to county land records, for $1.2 million.
