GM paves the way for new parts facility in Burton, Michigan

Recently, General Motors Customer Care and Aftersales established a new ACDelco and Genuine GM parts center in Burton, Michigan. The 141-acre site has been General Motors' largest warehousing and logistics investment in the United States for 40 years.

The center will receive a $65 million investment from the automaker.

The facility will serve as the main induction point in the United States for ACDelco and Genuine GM parts. After that, the parts will be unified, packaged and delivered to service departments and dealers around the country for use on GM vehicles and other vehicles.

“General Motors is pursuing a focused and disciplined strategy to improve our core business and position the company for the future,” said Tim Turvey, GM global vice president.

Covering over a million square feet, the new facility will be more than twice the size of the existing General Motors parts center. It will have 84 shipping and receiving docks, compared to 35 at the current facility. The staff will be about 700 employees. Following the closure of the existing center on Davison Road in Burton, staff will move to the new location.

The facility will be built by NorthPoint Development. It will then be leased to GM for an initial period of 12.5 years.

“Projects like this come true when you have great collaboration and genuine collaboration, like we have with the City of Burton, UAW and NorthPoint Development,” Turvey said.
