Ontario molder Quality Model expanding operations in South Carolina

Ont.-based custom molder Quality Model Ltd. has announced a US$3 million expansion to its facility in Orangeburg, S.C.  

The investment for the company’s subsidiary Quality Model South Carolina will also create 26 new jobs, according to a news release from the office of South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.

Quality Model is headquartered in Tecumseh, Ont.

Since the Orangeburg County facility opened in 2005, Quality Model has invested more than US$13 million and created 75 jobs in the community, the press release noted.

Quality Model specializes in serving the power sports, industrial, automotive and aftermarket, and lawn and garden industries, through injection molding, design, tool building, manufacturing, secondary assembly, and painting.

“Since our move into South Carolina in 2005, our Orangeburg facility has become a key business unit within the Quality Models’ group,” said Bill Szekesy, president of Quality Model South Carolina. “The expansion of the facility is needed to support our Southeastern U.S. customer base.”
