Cleveland Vibrator Co., Cleveland, Ohio, initiated the process of relocating the company’s headquarters and manufacturing operations from Cleveland’s near west side to a larger facility on the city’s south side.

“Relocation of headquarters’ personnel and equipment should be complete by the first of the year,” says Craig Macklin, chief executive officer. “We have seen our growth accelerate over the past 8 years, and we need a larger space to continue serving our customers at the highest level. We are very excited about moving to a larger space and more modern facility.”

The new space was previously occupied by Watt Printing Co., and has a capacity of 54,000 square feet with a 6,000-square-foot mezzanine. The company plans to occupy 37,000 square feet and lease out the remaining space.

The company offers industrial vibration solutions for a host of industries, including agriculture and food.

Additional plans include improving truck dock space, reworking electric power distribution, installing overhead cranes, painting booths and weld fume exhaust system, adding new machining equipment and renovating the office and production areas.

“This is more than a move for us. This is a transformation of our facility and a major event in a new phase of the company’s growth and history,” says Macklin. “And, it would not be possible were it not for our tremendous team of employees and external partners.”

The company partnered with the Manufacturing Advocacy and Growth Network (MAGNET), Cleveland, Ohio, to guide the transformation and the overall move project; CBRE Realty and CBRE Construction Management, Los Angeles; Brouse McDowell LPA, Akron, Ohio; City Architecture, Cleveland, Ohio; and The Snavely Co., Cleveland, Ohio.
