Encompass Supply Chain Solutions, a division of Parts Town Unlimited, will be expanding Southeast distribution capabilities through a new Global Fulfillment Center. Parts Town Unlimited, a global leader in high-tech distribution of genuine OEM parts, has signed a full building lease at 85 North Business Park (Jackson 85 North) in Pendergrass, Georgia. Parts Town Unlimited and Encompass Supply Chain Solutions will occupy the 538,450-square-foot facility by the end of this year.
The new facility will expand the company’s global fulfillment network to the Southeast, joining existing Global Fulfillment Centers in Chicago and Phoenix. Designed to enable accelerated growth and continued product expansion, the facility will bring together more than 140 team members.
“Our new Global Fulfillment Center represents an important next step in the evolution of our North American distribution network and positions us to serve our customers and manufacturer partners with even greater speed, flexibility and scale,” said Bill Geary, CEO, Parts Town Unlimited. “By placing greater depth and breadth of mission-critical OEM parts closer to customers across the Southeast, we can reduce transit times and costs while creating room for our partners’ expanding inventories.”
At 538,450 square feet, the new facility will be the company’s largest Global Fulfillment Center to date, stocking residential appliance, HVAC, and commercial foodservice OEM parts. Once operational, the facility will expand Encompass’s reach, bringing OEM parts to 93% of the U.S. within two days. Encompass with Parts Town Unlimited also plans to offer local pickup and same-day delivery, giving local customers access to OEM parts in as little as two hours.
The facility will prioritize flexibility and adaptability for evolving inventory and customer needs. Planned technology includes AI-powered robotic solutions and automation across the facility including packing stations, shipping stations, and receiving. These investments should increase productivity, use space more efficiently and empower team members to focus on higher-value work. This facility is also the network’s first LEED-certified Global Fulfillment Center, a globally recognized green building certification that promotes energy efficiency, resource conservation and healthier indoor environments.
