Fort Mill Native Julio Garcia

New-Indy Catawba machine specialist Julio Garcia started at the mill as a part-time contractor with a New-Indy vendor three years ago, an experience that led him to apply for an entry-level position. The Fort Mill native is a 2014 graduate of Nation Ford High School and attended York Technical College where he majored in business management and minored in paralegal studies.

As he gained experience at New-Indy Catawba, Julio was offered the opportunity to join New-Indy Catawba’s Emergency Response Team (ERT). He enrolled in a seven-month course conducted by the South Carolina Emergency Medical Services Association and is now a proud member of New-Indy’s ERT. He also is training to become a wet end operator. “New-Indy has given me the opportunity to learn a lot of things I had never been exposed to,” Julio said. He appreciates that New-Indy emphasizes safety, environmental responsibility, and accountability.

When he’s not working at New-Indy, Julio spends much of his time with his German Shepard Nina. Their favorite activity is enjoying the outdoors and camping and fishing in the Great Smoky Mountains. Julio also likes to explore Charleston, checking out historical sites and experiencing delicious cuisine.
