Insights

Supply Chain & Operations Analyst

Stellantis' $41M Georgia facility strengthens parts network with automation, improving distribution efficiency while supporting UAW jobs.

Stellantis' $41 million investment in a new Mopar Parts Distribution Center (PDC) in Georgia represents a strategic expansion of its aftermarket operations. The 422,000-square-foot facility incorporates cutting-edge automation technology with its AutoStore system featuring 66 robots that will significantly enhance operational efficiency. This automation infrastructure will enable faster inventory turnover and reduced order wait times—critical metrics in parts distribution operations.

The investment carries dual significance: it strengthens Stellantis' parts distribution network in the southeastern U.S. while supporting approximately 90 UAW-represented jobs. This balances automation with workforce maintenance, addressing both operational efficiency and labor relations priorities. The Georgia facility is part of a broader $500 million investment strategy that includes the recently opened East Fishkill, New York facility and planned Detroit Megahub.

From an operational perspective, the AutoStore system's 16,000-square-foot footprint demonstrates space efficiency in warehouse design, allowing more inventory to be stored and processed in a smaller area. This technological approach aligns with industry trends toward automation in distribution centers to address labor challenges while improving service metrics. The planned sustainability features further align with industry expectations for reduced environmental impact in new facilities.

This continued investment in physical distribution infrastructure underscores Stellantis' commitment to its aftermarket business, which typically generates higher margins than vehicle sales and provides revenue stability through economic cycles. The geographic positioning near Atlanta enhances Stellantis' ability to provide same-day or next-day service to dealers throughout the Southeast region, a competitive necessity in today's aftermarket parts business.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 

• New 422,000-square-foot facility to support approximately 90 UAW-represented jobs with faster, more streamlined parts distribution and advanced automation
• Innovative AutoStore fully automated storage and retrieval system will improve efficiency and reduce order wait times by turning over stock faster
• Announcement follows recent launch of new facility in East Fishkill, New York, and commitment to create a Metro Detroit Mopar Megahub

Stellantis announces a more than $41 million investment in a new Mopar Parts Distribution Center (PDC) in Forsyth, Georgia. Located about 60 miles south of Atlanta, the nearly 422,000-square-foot facility will further strengthen the company's U.S. parts distribution network, supporting faster, more efficient service for dealers and customers of the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, Ram, Alfa Romeo and FIAT brands throughout the Southeastern United States.

"This facility represents a critical investment in Mopar's long-term growth strategy and our ability to support the dedicated workforce that drives our success," said Darren Bradshaw, senior vice president of Mopar North America. "It provides our UAW-represented employees with the tools, technology and environment they need to deliver exceptional service to our dealers and customers while supporting our commitment to efficiency and sustainability."

The facility will feature a 16,000-square-foot AutoStore automated storage and retrieval system, a breakthrough in warehouse logistics. The AutoStore system 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. This next-generation automation enhances order processing speed, accuracy and inventory control while reducing the physical footprint required for storage.

The facility will leverage energy-saving technologies and sustainable building practices, reflecting Stellantis' commitment to minimizing its environmental footprint and enhancing operational performance.

Mopar, the global service, parts and customer-care brand of Stellantis, has a rich 88-year history of providing genuine parts and accessories for Stellantis-brand vehicles, including Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo and FIAT. The new Georgia PDC will support approximately 90 UAW-represented jobs.

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, New York. Together, these projects, totaling nearly $500 million, reinforce Stellantis' long-term commitment to strengthening its Mopar network across North America.
