Canusa Expands Distribution Centre

Canusa Automotive, a member of the Federated group, has expanded its main distribution centre in Dorchester, Ont., with the addition of 20,000 square feet, increasing the size of its warehouse to 120,000 square feet.

The new space will house all of Canusa’s ACDelco products.

“Our warehouse expansion will allow us to better serve our customers in southwest Ontario,” said Stephen Drake, vice president of Canusa. “ACDelco is our our biggest product line with Federated and we felt it was important to have that product line located in its own space in our warehouse. We also want to thank everyone at ACDelco for all their assistance in this expansion.”

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on October 12 to celebrate the grand opening of the new warehouse space. Bob Jones, the 89-year-old founder and retired chairman of the board of Canusa, was on hand for the ceremony.

Canusa Automotive is a full line warehouse distributor operating two distribution facilities in Dorchester and Mississauga, Ontario and 37 parts store outlets under the Auto Parts Centres banner.
