GM Service and Parts Operations to Build New Facility In Massachusetts

BOSTON - General Motors Service and Parts Operations (GM SPO) has selected a site in Norton, Mass. as the location of a new Parts Distribution Center (PDC). "This new PDC is an important part of SPO's strategy to provide world-class service to GM dealers by realigning the distribution network with less automated and more manual facilities," said Charlie Hyndman, SPO director of Warehousing and Distribution for U.S. Operations. "These facilities feature lean and common processes and fully engage employees to achieve significant improvements in competitiveness."

This new 404,000 square foot facility will handle automotive replacement part shipments to more than 400 dealerships in seven states. DUKE, a nationally recognized developer, will construct the new PDC that is scheduled to begin in September 2004.

GM SPO has opened 16 new PDCs in cities around the country since 1999, including Chicago, Philadelphia, Fort Worth, Cincinnati, Columbus, Los Angeles, and Memphis.
