The South Carolina Department of Commerce and Kershaw County today joined Agilis Engineering in announcing it has located an engineering office in Camden, South Carolina. The company has initially created 14 new jobs and expects to reach 50 employees within the next several years.

We see South Carolina as the best place for us to meet the demands of our market in the near future,” said Frank O’Neill, President and CEO of Agilis Engineering, Inc.
Agilis Engineering, Inc. was drawn to South Carolina in part because of the talent pool from Clemson University and the University of South Carolina. Current positions have been filled by graduates from these universities.
“As we work to compete in a global economy, South Carolina’s ability to grow its high-paying knowledge based industry is increasingly important. Today’s announcement certainly speaks to our success in that regard as well as to efforts to enhance the economic soil conditions to attract new investment and promote business growth. We remain committed to continuing these efforts to keep creating opportunity for more South Carolinians,” said Gov. Mark Sanford.
“Agilis is an engineering firm with the expertise necessary to meet the expansive needs of its customers from product design to implementation. Agilis is a welcomed member of South Carolina’s business community and we look forward to a long mutually beneficial relationship for years to come,” said Joe Taylor, Secretary of Commerce.

Agilis delivers a complete product development package from initial design through hardware manufacturing, instrumentation and assembly, and final rig or component testing.

“Kershaw County wholeheartedly welcomes Agilis Engineering to the community and pledges our cooperation in making this office a success for the company,” stated Steve S. Kelly, Jr., chairman of Kershaw County Council. “Today’s grand opening hopefully represents the first of many announcements of office-related companies locating in Kershaw County.”
