Automaker shares plan for 200,000 square foot
multi-purpose expansion project and future job opportunities in
Coppell, Texas
CAMDEN,
N.J., May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru
of America, Inc. today shared plans to expand its operations in the
Dallas-Fort Worth area and grow
its workforce by relocating its Central Region office and
establishing a new customer support center in Coppell, Texas. The automaker's new Dallas
Business Center will be co-located with its existing distribution
and training facility as part of a 200,000-square-foot expansion
project with Prologis, the leader in logistics real estate. Subaru
anticipates this expansion to be completed in late 2024 and ready
for occupancy by early 2025.
The Dallas Business Center (DBC) will serve as a second location
for the Subaru Customer Advocacy Department (CAD), allowing Subaru
to dedicate more resources towards offering exemplary customer
service to owners and retailers, which is critical to its business
operations. The new CAD office will help support Subaru customers,
tap into the metropolitan area's professional talent pool, and
allow for greater collaboration across several business areas.
Around 30,000 square feet of the project's office space will be
dedicated to the automaker's Central Region sales and marketing
operations, currently located in Itasca,
Illinois, along with the Dallas-Fort Worth Zone office. With
an estimated 100 employees, the new DBC will be one of the largest
SOA team locations after its headquarters in Camden, New Jersey.
Jeff Walters, President and
Chief Operating Officer at Subaru of America, Inc.: "We are
excited to expand our footprint and capabilities in the southern
U.S., further supporting our customers and retailer network.
Dallas is a vibrant area with
diverse talent that will add fresh perspectives and further enhance
our company culture."
Upon completion, Subaru's multi-purpose expansion project will
be LEED certified, offer EV charging for passenger vehicles, and be
equipped with high-efficiency HVAC. The building will total 500,600
square feet, including a 170,000 square-foot expansion of its
existing Regional Distribution Center, which stores and handles
automotive parts and accessories. The automaker's existing Quality
& Service Area Training Center, used to train Subaru retailers'
technicians and Subaru field service personnel, will gain an
additional classroom as part of the expansion to better support
Subaru University (Subaru-U), and its local secondary and
post-secondary automotive vocational initiatives.

Career Fair on Thursday, May 23
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the
