ACM Parts officially opened its new distribution centre in Somerton, Vic on 22 June. ACM Parts (the Supply business unit of AMA Group) hosted an exclusive trade evening at its new distribution centre.
Current and prospective customers, plus trade media representatives, received tours of the new 19,500 m2 site. Exclusive showcases highlighted parts and new releases in ACM Parts’ four product ranges: Genuine, Reclaimed, Aftermarket parts, and collision repair Consumables.
The event also featured a meet and greet with racing legend Cam McConville and his ACM-sponsored 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. ACM’s new Somerton facility has allowed the company to consolidate and expand operations previously based at two smaller sites in Victoria and to expand its national parts distribution network capacity. The site is equipped with over 5,000 m2 of hardstand and fit-for-purpose access. It provides access to key transport infrastructure including the Western Ring Road, Tullamarine Freeway and the Hume Highway interchange, as well as the planned NorthEast Link.
The site also has significant solar power generation capabilities. Adam O’Sullivan, AMA Group’s Executive General Manager – Supply, said: “We are extremely excited to add this facility to ACM’s network of parts distribution centres, increasing our overall network capacity to more than 40,000 m2 across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. This increased capacity will allow us to help ensure parts availability to fulfill the needs of our customers nationwide.”
