CLEVELAND, OH — Cleveland Vibrator Company announces that it has 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, according to Craig Macklin, CEO.

“Relocation of headquarters’ personnel and equipment should be complete by the first of the year,” Macklin said. “We have seen our growth accelerate over the past eight 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.”

Cleveland Vibrator, in business since 1923 and at its current location since 1953, is moving into a space previously occupied by Watt Printing Company. The new facility 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 mining, agriculture, pharmaceutical, food, medical, powders, foundry, aggregate, recycling and more. Current headquarters and production operations are located in a 28,000-square-foot building in Cleveland.

According to Macklin, the company will be investing in the new space and foresees the need to add employees once the move is complete. Plans are to improve truck dock space, rework electric power distribution, install overhead cranes, paint booths and weld fume exhaust system, add new machining equipment and renovate 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,” Macklin said. “And it would not be possible were it not for our tremendous team of employees and external partners.”

The company has partnered with the Manufacturing Advocacy and Growth Network to guide the transformation and the overall move project, CBRE Realty and CBRE Construction Management, Brouse McDowell LPA, City Architecture and The Snavely Company.
