Daewoo Accelerates Parts Delivery With Additional Distribution Center

    COMPTON, Calif., Oct. 3 Daewoo Motor America, already the
"Fastest Growing Car Company in America" will expand its part distribution
services and training center early next year with its Suwannee Creek
Distribution Center in Suwannee, Georgia, near Atlanta.  The 212,445
square-foot facility will house parts inventory for the company's Lanos,
Nubira and Leganza car line, as well as the Southeast Region Training Center.
    Daewoo's new facility will serve dealerships and customers on the entire
eastern seaboard and portions of the midwest.  Daewoo's steady sales growth
and expanding customer service influenced the company to add a new location.
"While our current parts distribution service level is exceptional, this
facility will serve to further improve our response to our Daewoo dealers,
throughout the nation," said Ben Rainwater, vice president of parts and
service at Daewoo Motor America.
    Currently, Daewoo Motor America maintains an 85,000-square-foot parts
distribution center at its Compton, California headquarters that serves over
475 dealerships.  The facility stocks a complete parts inventory and provides
overnight delivery to the entire nation.  All Daewoo dealerships are connected
by the Daewoo Store Operating System which can deliver real-time information
on parts availability, while an automatic restock and return program ensures
that service facilities will have the right parts on hand at the right time.
    Daewoo's east coast and midwest sales nearly doubled in August, dictating
enlarged customer service capabilities.  "The addition of this parts
distribution facility, strategically located near Atlanta, fits perfectly with
our market growth, expansion and customer service plans," explained Rainwater.
    Construction of the new facility will begin in mid-December with a
completion date of January 2001.

    Daewoo Motor America, Inc. is the U.S. subsidiary of Daewoo Motor,
headquartered in Seoul, South Korea.  Daewoo Motor operates 18 manufacturing
facilities in 14 countries and has sales operations in more than
180 countries.
