Congressman sees firsthand how innovative automotive products are designed, manufactured and tested in his district; will work to support industry initiatives
Ventura, Calif.—U.S. Representative Salud Carbajal (D-CA), representing California’s 24th Congressional District, recently visited Magnuson Superchargers’ Ventura facility to see firsthand how specialty automotive products are designed, manufactured and tested in his district.
According to a SEMA news release, Rep. Carbajal was welcomed by Magnuson leadership, including Dan Bronsten, the company’s vice president of operations, and SEMA’s Victor Muñoz.
During the visit, Rep. Carbajal toured Magnuson’s engineering and manufacturing operations and discussed the skilled workforce, advanced technology and regulatory compliance required to bring performance products to market.
“I want to thank Magnuson Superchargers and SEMA for the tour of Magnuson’s Ventura manufacturing facility and the thoughtful discussion on the future of automotive technology,” said Rep. Carbajal. ”Central Coast companies like Magnuson consistently push the frontier of innovation forward, and Congress must ensure it supports their growth.
“I look forward to working together to advance policies that fuel the cutting-edge work happening right here in our community.”
Magnuson, a longtime SEMA member, develops and manufactures supercharger systems for the automotive aftermarket and original-equipment applications. Its Ventura operations support engineering, machining, assembly and testing for performance vehicles, trucks and SUVs.
The tour highlighted the company’s investment in California manufacturing and the work required to develop products that deliver added performance while meeting emissions requirements.
The visit also provided Magnuson and SEMA with an opportunity to discuss issues facing specialty automotive manufacturers, including federal support for domestic manufacturing, workforce development, emissions certification and the time and investment required to develop compliant aftermarket products.
