AMA Group’s parts business has opened a new Victorian distribution centre in Somerton, allowing the consolidation of two smaller sites and an expansion of total capacity.

Group EGM Supply Adam O’Sullivan says the facility increases overall network capacity to more than 40,000 square metres 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,” he said.

The 19,500 square metre ACM Parts Somerton site provides access to the Western Ring Road, Tullamarine Freeway and the Hume Highway interchange, as well as the planned North-East Link.

The site also has significant solar power generation capabilities.
