Keystone Automotive Operations, wholesale distributor and marketer of RV, marine and automotive aftermarket products and services, announced the opening of its newest distribution center in Ocoee, Fla. The 200,000-square-foot Orlando-area facility will service the company’s customer base throughout the Sunshine State.
The new location brings Keystone’s network of nationwide distribution centers to eight, in addition to 37 stand- alone cross-dock facilities, increasing the company’s total distribution footprint across North America to approximately 3 million square feet.
“We are elated to be a part of communities of Ocoee and greater Orlando,” said Keystone Automotive Operations President Bill Rogers. “The local government has been wonderful to work with and very helpful with the process of opening a large distribution center there. This Central Florida location positions our inventory in the heart of our Florida automotive, RV and marine customer base, allowing us to provide enhanced service with later cut times and in many cases, earlier daily delivery times.”
With inventory shipments and early operations underway, the facility will be staffed by a team of more than 50 and serviced by the company’s private trucking fleet, which distributes aftermarket products for all the industries we serve under the Keystone Automotive Operations, NTP-STAG and SeaWide distribution brands, respectively. The increased capacity promises to optimize the corporation’s cross- dock structure while increasing delivery and reach, ensuring improved, expanded service into regions such as Miami and the Florida Keys.
