Car maker Volkswagen AG has announced plans to build a 400,000-square foot parts distribution warehouse in Tennessee, near the Chattanooga plant where the company builds its Passat models. According to the company’s press release:

[T]he facility will begin as a redistribution center to service warehouses and will later expand to include a parts distribution center. The redistribution Master Depot will support the US, Canada and Mexico. The parts distribution operation will improve service parts delivery times to over 100 dealers in the surrounding regions.

The warehouse is expected to be opened in spring 2013 and the company expects to employ 45 people at the facility by 2016.
