Company’s growth in North America fuelled by recent acquisitions

WABCO Holdings Inc. has located its new Americas headquarters to Auburn Hills, MI. The facility is currently under construction and is expected to open in the third quarter 2018.

The new, 102,000 square-foot facility represents a significant investment and demonstrates WABCO's increased commitment to serve commercial vehicle manufacturers, fleet operators, and aftermarket customers in North America. WABCO has significantly expanded its presence in the region since its launch in 2007. Over the past two years alone, WABCO has tripled its workforce as it acquired four high-tech manufacturing businesses: MICO Inc., Laydon Composites Ltd., R.H. Sheppard Co. Inc., and the buyout of Meritor WABCO Vehicle Control Systems, the 50-50 joint venture with Meritor.

WABCO's Americas headquarters will house approximately 200 employees when it opens, including employees who are currently located at separate sites in Rochester Hills and Troy, MI. The Company plans to increase employment prior to the opening and is forecasting to add as many as 90 professional jobs at the site during the next three years.
