Matica Group (Matica), a global identity and payment solutions provider, today announced it is establishing its first North American manufacturing operation in Spartanburg County. The company’s $2 million investment will create 40 new jobs.
Headquartered in Switzerland, Matica designs, manufactures, and markets payment and identity systems. The company has 200 employees and 11 facilities worldwide, including a technology support office in Greenville County.
The company will manufacture central identification issuance systems, including large-scale card personalization networks and desktop models, at the new 38,000-square-foot facility located at 2750 S. Highway 14 in Greer.
Operations are expected to be online in July 2024. Individuals interested in joining the Matica team should contact the company’s Human Resources Department (hr.us@maticagroup.com).
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project.
Matica Group Founder and CEO Sandro Camilleri stated, “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. 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.”
“Our world-class workforce and pro-business approach continues to attract major international companies to South Carolina. We are thrilled this reputation prompted Matica Group to choose Spartanburg County for its first manufacturing operations in North America,” said Gov. Henry McMaster.
