The Chrysler Group’s Mopar division is expanding its operations to support growth in international markets with the opening of two new parts distribution centers in Shanghai in China and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The new parts center in China is a 16,000 sq. meter facility located in Yangshan Port Shanghai and it will distribute more than 35,000 components to more than 130 dealer locations in China and more than 20 third-party distributors and joint-venture partners throughout the Asia Pacific region.
The company said that the parts center would also be a referral point for other Mopar warehouses in South Korea, Japan, and Australia, which service more than 200 additional dealer locations in the area.
In Dubati, Mopar’s 18,000 sq. meter parts center will be located in the Jebel Ali Free Trade Zone with the warehouse distributing more than 30,000 part numbers to Middle East and African general distributors and local sales companies.
“With the opening of these two facilities, we are expanding our parts distribution network in order to fully support the growth taking place in these markets,” said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar.
“As our vehicle brands continue to grow internationally, Mopar will continue to look for opportunities to effectively service our dealers and distributors, and ultimately our customers,” Gorlier added.
