Iowa governor Terry Branstad visited Clickstop Inc., an e-commerce company and manufacturer in Urbana, IA, on Thursday, February 27th.
The governor toured the 78,000+ square foot facility, where the company added a new manufacturing division for its US Cargo Control division in 2013. The new business initiative resulted in the addition of 50 new jobs in this NE Iowa community. Branstad spoke to company officials and local residents about his plans for the year and praised Clickstop’s contribution to his goal of creating 200,000 jobs over a five year period.
“I think this is a company that’s going to continue to grow and be very successful,” said Branstad. “We want to encourage more entrepreneurs like this to locate here in the state of Iowa.”
Tim Guenther, CEO and President of Clickstop told the company’s story during the visit.
In 2005, Guenther began selling ratchet straps and other cargo control products for its now flagship site, US Cargo Control.com. The company now also operates an additional 10 web stores, including FastenersPlus.com, EcoFoil.com, and SpaceSavers.com.

In 2013, it was also ranked #1 among medium- sized companies on the publication’s “Coolest Places to Work” list. Additionally, Clickstop has been named to the Inc. Magazine 500|5000 List of Fastest-Growing Companies for four consecutive years.
