Industry Leaders in Automotive Construction
The world of vehicle manufacturing and automotive facilities is ever-changing.
We know it best – because we’ve been doing it since 1916 and are a continual No. 1 automotive constructor.
Our team sees ourselves united in our customers’ success in the automotive industry. We look at ourselves as partners to benefit our customers. That long history started as we supported automotive companies as mass production started at the beginning of the 20th century.
Walbridge was constructing facilities as automatic transmission became an industry standard. Building automotive facilities as air conditioning was first added to vehicles. Our teams worked with new technology as computers were introduced onto assembly facilities. We were building with clients as hybrid engines and smart technology became a new norm for the industry.
An entire century of technological changes – Walbridge was there, coupling production with the transformation from a construction standpoint.
Today, our teams continue in that role as automotive companies transition plants to produce electric vehicles (EV) and working on battery production facilities that benefit a new era of automobiles.
