Advanced Automation Powers New Distribution Center
The new facility includes an automated sorting machine that takes parts from Niterra’s inventory. It then sends those parts to associates to be boxed up and shipped across half the U.S. This advanced system helps streamline the distribution process and improve efficiency.
“This distribution center will have responsibility for the distribution of our aftermarket products to the distributors and the retailers of auto parts all across the eastern half of the United States,” added Schwab. “That’s from Florida to New York all the way out to eastern Texas.”

“We expect that we’ll continue to grow as our business continues to grow.”
