GUANGZHOU -- March 18, 2015: By opening an all-new parts
distribution center in Guangzhou, Daimler Northeast Asia Parts Trading and
Services Co. (DPTS), responsible for the after sales parts logistics of
Mercedes-Benz passenger cars, vans and trucks, today has taken another
major step forward in providing an efficient spare parts distribution
solution for its customers across China. It is Daimler’s second
built-to-suit parts distribution facility in the country and forms a
close-knit network with the company’s 5 other regional warehouses (in
Beijing, Shanghai, Kunshan, Chengdu and Yangzhou).
“DPTS plays an important role for our customer-first
approach in China, by delivering our customers genuine parts in the right
quantity, with the right quality and at the right time and place,”
said Hubertus Troska, Member of the Board of Management Daimler AG
responsible for Greater China. “Going further, we will continue to
enhance our parts and aftersales logistics infrastructure, being just more
proof of our deep root in China’s automotive industry.”
With the addition of the 36,000 square meters
Guangzhou facility, DPTS has a total warehouse capacity of approximately
170,000 square meters, stocking more than 53,000 different parts. If
needed, the parts can also be delivered within the same day and during
Saturday, reaching out across the longest distance of about 4,000 km. At
present DPTS is serving 325 Mercedes-Benz passenger car dealers, plus
another 52 Mercedes-Benz van and 34 truck outlets, altogether in196 cities
across China and with a remarkable service level beyond 96%.
“Our new built-to-suit warehouse will clearly
strengthen DPTS’s nationwide network, while underlining both our
strong momentum in recent years and confidence into our future in
China,” noted Steffen Holzer, CEO of DPTS. “With our genuine
parts services we will continue to stand for parts availability, quality
and efficiency, which are as important for us as they are for our customers
– in China, like elsewhere.”
Established in November 2008, DPTS provides a one-stop
solution for efficient aftersales parts logistics in China. Since then the
company expanded its regional operations by opening up strategically
located warehouses across the country. In 2010 DPTS has been awarded the
VDA 6.2 certificate by TÜV SÜD, a leading German-based certification agency
located in Beijing. Specifically applied in the automotive industry, the
standard ensures efficient and transparent business processes, thereby
improving as an end result customer satisfaction. Early 2013 the company
also has been certificated as Corporate Class AA by Chinese customs, being
another proof for DPTS’s high-level operating standards. DPTS is part
of Daimler’s worldwide logistics network, with the company’s
Global Logistics Center in Germersheim (Germany), the largest warehouse for
automotive spare parts worldwide, at its core.
