The nearly 422,000-square-foot, high-tech facility will strengthen the company’s parts distribution network throughout the Southeastern U.S.
Auburn Hills, Mich.—Stellantis has announced a more than $41 million investment in a new Mopar Parts Distribution Center (PDC) in Forsyth, Ga. Located about 60 miles south of Atlanta, the nearly 422,000-square-foot facility will support faster service for dealers and customers of the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo and FIAT brands throughout the southeastern United States.
The facility will feature a 16,000-square-foot AutoStore automated storage and retrieval system, which uses 66 robots designed to retrieve parts from a high-density grid of bins, transporting them to processing stations where PDC employees prepare final shipments.
The automation enhances order processing speed, accuracy and inventory control while reducing the physical footprint required for storage. The facility will also leverage energy-saving technologies and sustainable building practices.
The Georgia investment builds on Stellantis’ broader transformation of its parts distribution network. In July, the company announced a $388 million investment to create a Metro Detroit Megahub, its largest PDC project to date, and earlier this year celebrated the opening of a $64 million PDC in East Fishkill, N.Y. Together, the projects total nearly $500 million.
