AWE Tuning Moves Into New World Headquarters

AWE Tuning has announced another milestone in their growth.

Today the performance parts manufacturer moved into their new headquarters, located at 199 Precision Drive, Horsham, PA 19044. The new headquarters, roughly 3x’s larger than the previous one, will house AWE Tuning’s entire team in a brand new bespoke state-of-the-art facility.

The new facility was created to accommodate AWE Tuning’s growth, which recently increased with their noted launch into manufacturing the AWE Tuning BMW performance line.

About the new facility

The new facility is a bespoke build out on four acres in Horsham, Pennsylvania, starting from a blank slate “big box.” The building was acquired in January 2015 and has been undergoing a gut and renovation since the acquisition.

  • The manufacturing floor has been expanded by 10 times from the previous location, including new and existing fabrication equipment.
  • The R&D department has also been expanded by 10 times, including “fast access cut throughs” between development vehicles and work stations.
  • R&D incorporates a five lift prototyping and development department.
  • The office area is a large, open floor layout, housing marketing, engineering, sales and administrative.

Additional areas of the space include:

  • A new central in-ground dyno cell, including the AWE Tuning AWD Mustang Dynamometer.
  • A multi-car visitor waiting area, featuring visibility into the dyno cell, manufacturing and R&D departments.
  • A three dock shipping department and second office area.
  • A central “cafe” area to facilitate additional communication between all teams.
  • A multi-media lounge.
  • Large multi-media conference room.

“AWE Tuning started in a single bay in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. Today, almost 25 years later, the company is one of the most trusted names in performance aftermarket manufacturing. The global growth of the brand required more space for manufacturing, research and development, and office staff,” stated Jesse Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for AWE Tuning.

“Furthermore, our team deserves it. More space, more collaboration, more innovation – it’s all evident the second you walk into our new space, appropriately located on Precision Drive.”

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
