Belgium-based electronic braking control systems provider Wabco Holdings held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open its new Americas headquarters (HQ) in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
Not just home base for Wabco’s North American and South American operations, the facility represents a $20 million investment aimed at supporting the development of autonomous, connected and electric commercial vehicles.
Wabco Holdings said that the technology-enabled facility represents a significant investment and demonstrates its increased commitment to mobilizing vehicle intelligence in the Americas region. The new headquarters also create an environment that is intentionally open and transparent to foster collaboration, inspire innovation, and strengthen global connectivity.
Approximately 200 employees, including those who relocated from the company’s previous locations in nearby Rochester Hills and Troy, Michigan, work in the building, and Wabco plans to add another 90 jobs over the next three years.
