A manufacturer is investing $2 million in its Sandusky facility and adding new jobs.

"They’ve always been a good corporate citizen and invested a lot in their facilities," David Faber, Sandusky city manager, said of Vibracoustic.

According to the company's website, "Vibracoustic is the global market leader in the field of automotive vibration control technology. We supply virtually every passenger vehicle manufacturer, commercial vehicle manufacturer, and tier 1 supplier in the world with components that clearly and noticeably boost the comfort on board."

Bill Tobin, the Sandusky facility's general manager, said the $2 million investment is to expand the equipment at the Sandusky location and will mean 20 new full-time jobs.

“We have a new automotive program coming,” he said.

He added current employees were “looking forward” to the growth, but he declined to further describe what it includes.

The company makes bearings, mounts, springs, isolators, and mass dampers for passenger and commercial vehicle manufacturers.

The German-headquartered company has 43 sites in 19 different countries and more than 10,000 employees, according to its website.

Faber said the Sandusky facility at 180 N. Dawson St. employs about 300 people.

He said the continued investment into the facility is a boost to the city.

"Very important, they're one of our two largest manufacturing facilities in Sandusky," Faber said.

He said the company has a long history with the city but was not certain on when it set up shop. Tobin declined to go into details about the facility.
