Construction is moving quickly on Acoustical Sheetmetal Company’s newest manufacturing facility in Virginia Beach, supporting the company’s continued growth.

On track to be completed in early 2027, the 250,000-square-foot expansion will significantly increase ASC’s manufacturing capacity while creating 350 new jobs across manufacturing, engineering, skilled trades, and operations. The project represents ASC’s third major expansion in six years and reflects ASC’s continued investment in both its customers and the Virginia Beach community.

“This expansion is about much more than adding space,” said Margaret Shaia, CEO of ASC. “Not only will this expansion allow us to take on larger, more innovative projects for our clients, but it also creates new opportunities for the employees who are shaping the future of manufacturing—and for members of our community who are looking to build a career in the skilled trades.”

As construction progresses, ASC is also preparing for the workforce that will help bring the new facility to life. Whether you’re an experienced tradesperson looking for your next opportunity or someone interested in beginning a career in manufacturing, now is the perfect time to explore the paths available.

To help prospective employees prepare, ASC recently launched a Career Resources Hub designed to introduce individuals to careers in welding, electrical, machining, engineering, fabrication, project management, and other manufacturing roles.

The Career Resources Hub also provides information on:

• Industry certifications that can strengthen your qualifications
• Local technical training and community college programs
• The skills and qualities ASC looks for in future team members
• Current job openings and career pathways within the company

“We’re excited about the opportunities this expansion will bring, but we’re equally excited about the people who will help make it possible,” Shaia said. “Whether someone is just beginning to explore the skilled trades or is ready for the next step in their career, we want them to have the resources they need to succeed.”

At ASC, growth isn’t measured solely by the size of a facility—it’s measured by the opportunities created for people. As the company continues expanding its capabilities, it remains committed to investing in employee development, career advancement, and a strong manufacturing workforce for the future.
