Parts Town Unlimited, the Addison, Ill.-based parent company of Parts Town, the global distributor of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) foodservice equipment parts, residential appliance parts, HVAC parts, consumer electronic parts and related products, announced Dec. 6 the opening of a new 427,000-sq.-ft. fulfillment center in Litchfield Park, Ariz., just west of Phoenix. The company said the new fulfillment center is designed to support accelerated growth and product expansion and will initially create jobs for hundreds of new team members.
The new facility is Parts Town Unlimited’s largest fulfillment center yet, featuring more high-tech automation and robotics solutions than at its global fulfillment center in Addison, Ill. The facility’s inventory includes commercial appliance parts, residential appliance parts and HVAC parts to support Parts Town and Encompass Supply Chain Solutions, which operates within Parts Town Unlimited’s Home division.
“With the addition of this new Global Fulfillment Center, we now have significant additional capacity to serve our growing customer base and to grow OEM parts share in support of our manufacturer partners around the world,” said Steve Snower, CEO of Parts Town Unlimited. “This facility will ultimately support several categories of mission critical parts where in-stock availability and speed of delivery is highly consequential.” Parts Town: Opens Phoenix-Area Global Fulfillment Center
That’s one big hunking warehouse with a town full of robots and other automated materials-handling equipment. I wonder how many individual parts will move through this facility in 2025? I’m sure our Parts Town friends will tell us later.
