YORK COUNTY — Schneeberger, a linear technology company with a global footprint, selected York County to establish its first South Carolina operation, the company announced July 7.
Schneeberger will lease a 42,000-square-foot facility, located at 656 Red River Road in Rock Hill. In addition to being the company’s first location in South Carolina, the new operation will be Schneeberger’s first mineral cast production facility in the United States.
The $3.2 million investment will create 101 jobs over the next five years.
Founded in Switzerland in 1923, Schneeberger manufactures customized and high-precision linear technology, including linear bearings, gear racks and mineral casting for customers in the electronics, medical device and packaging industries.
“This decision reflects our confidence in the region’s exceptional workforce, robust technical training infrastructure and the area’s growing population, which together create a dynamic environment for innovation and growth,” said George Blaha, Schneeberger Mineralcast president and general manager. “Rock Hill’s outstanding quality of life and welcoming community make it an ideal location for our growing business. We are especially excited to bring our sustainable, cold-casting manufacturing technology to the U.S., where we will produce high-performance equipment bases that serve a wide range of industries.”
The facility is expected to be operating by the end of 2025, and prospective employees are encouraged to visit the company’s careers page at schneeberger.com/en/us/career.
“We are proud to celebrate another win for South Carolina’s dynamic manufacturing industry,” Gov. Henry McMaster said. “Schneeberger’s $3.2 million investment and 101 new jobs will strengthen York County’s economy and support local families. We congratulate the company and look forward to the impact they will make in the years ahead.”
