Swing Kingdomâs origin story reads like an archetypal Lancaster County tale of an entrepreneur who finds early success that takes him and his business off the farm, then continues to grow through the persistent application of effort and ingenuity.
Amos Glick was 18 years old when he started building sheds on his Amish familyâs farm in Leola. But, with many other local shed markers, Glick decided in 2000 to start making backyard swingsets with vinyl components. By the spring of 2018, Glick had 70 employees, was making 10,000 swingsets a year and had his own company, Atlas Molding, to produce parts.
Then Glick did something atypical for a Lancaster County entrepreneur: He sold most of his company to PennSpring Capital, a Lancaster-based private equity firm run by former New York City investment banker Lou Castelli.
