Worldpac plans to open its first automated distribution center, a 413,000-square-foot facility in Forest Park, Georgia.
The new facility is scheduled to open in the first half of 2027. Further differentiating the development, the automotive aftermarket parts distributor will deploy AutoStore robotic storage and retrieval technology.
It is designed to accelerate order fulfillment, improve inventory accuracy, and streamline operations for the Worldpac Automated Distribution Center.
The new facility will provide more than 250,000 additional square feet compared with Worldpac’s existing Norcross, Georgia, distribution center.
Serving automotive repair shops and Worldpac branches throughout the Southeast, the operation is expected to create more than 150 jobs, with initial customer shipments beginning in spring 2027.
The investment reflects growing adoption of warehouse automation. As aftermarket distributors seek faster parts availability, greater operational efficiency, and improved service for professional automotive technicians.
