ADDISON, Ill. — Parts Town, a distributor of parts for HVAC equipment, consumer electronics, home appliances, food service equipment, and similar products, plans to open a 420,000-square-foot distribution center in Glendale, Arizona, in late 2024.
The new distribution center will feature the same high-tech automation and robotics technology as the flagship Parts Town facility in Addison, Illinois, extending in-stock availability and enhancing the delivery speed of mission-critical parts, according to a press release from Parts Town.
The new distribution center will be designed to support accelerated growth and product expansion and will initially create approximately 100 jobs, the company said.
“Our organic growth continues to be very strong and has exceeded expectations in 2023,” said Steve Snower, CEO of Parts Town Unlimited. “We are investing ahead of expected accelerated growth and product expansion in 2024 and beyond. Our emphasis on centralized, high-tech distribution allows customers to access more products, less split shipments, faster delivery, and higher quality.”
Sustainable, environmentally friendly practices will be core to the new distribution center, the company said. Parts Town intends to purchase renewable energy certificates and carbon offsets to reduce emissions associated with the new center, and will use high-efficiency LED lighting throughout the facility.
“The Glendale community is excited to welcome Parts Town as our newest business resident, and we look forward to the added value this distribution center will deliver for our workforce and economy,” said Mayor Jerry P. Weiers. “Parts Town’s decision to expand to Glendale is a reflection of our business-friendly environment, strategic location, and commitment to fostering business growth and innovation.”
