Porsche Cars North America Inc. (PCNA) announced the opening of its new Parts Distribution Center and Technical Training Facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Strategically located in the heart of the country, the facility is designed to enhance service efficiency, support dealer operations and provide advanced training for Porsche technicians across the region, company officials stated in a press release. In addition to these operational improvements, Porsche is investing in the local workforce, employing 21 full-time staff.
At over 300,000 square feet, the new facility—Porsche’s second largest Porsche Distribution Center globally—will serve as an important logistics hub, noted the release. Supporting same-day and next-day parts distribution across Texas and the larger region, the center will help dealers optimize vehicle service times and further improve customer satisfaction. Additionally, a newly launched nationwide shuttle network will connect all of Porsche’s parts distribution centers, reducing reliance on third-party carriers, minimizing damage risk and enhancing freight security, the company said.
New Porsche Facility Will Improve Logistics, Training & Connection to Dealer Network
“This new hub reflects Porsche’s dedication to excellence in service and customer support,” said Glenn Garde, vice president of after sales at PCNA. “By investing in Fort Worth, we’re not only improving logistics and training capabilities, but also strengthening our connection to our dealer network.”
“The Fort Worth Parts Center is a major milestone in our logistics strategy,” added Brad Skoff, president of Porsche Logistics Services. “It allows us to deliver parts faster and more efficiently, while also creating meaningful jobs and economic impact in the region.”
While PCNA says that logistics are a key focus, the center also features a next-generation training facility offering hands-on instruction for internal combustion, hybrid and battery electric vehicles (BEVs). With three classrooms and a workshop with three lifts, the center provides technicians with immersive, practical learning experiences. Porsche expects to train approximately 800 technicians annually through the Certified Porsche Technician Program (CPT).
