Additionally, in the competitive Top Performing Warehouse category, which analyzed over 200 manufacturer sites across the U.S., Subaru swept the podium, with its distribution centers noted below taking the top three spots based on metrics including lines per hour, retailer claims, and adjustments, among others.

• Douglasville, Georgia – 1st place
• Aurora, Colorado – 2nd place
• Ontario, California – 3rd place

Jim Pernas, Vice President - Fixed Operations - Parts Group, Subaru of America, Inc.: "This recognition across our national network reflects the high standards of excellence embedded in every aspect of Subaru of America.

For the first time in SOA history, a Master RDC received an award with the Gresham Parts Master near Portland, Oregon, earning third place in the Most Improved category.
