Copart, a company that sells more than 1 million vehicles per year, has announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to Dallas in 2012.
The company, presently headquartered in Fairfield, Calif., also has announced that it will create three divisional processing centers in Fairfield; Grand Prairie, Texas; and Hartford, Conn.
Copart says that certain functions currently performed at the Fairfield headquarters will transition to the new centers during the next two years.
“This change will position us closer to our customers geographically, resulting in improved customer service and greater operational efficiencies,” says Jay Adair, CEO of Copart Inc. “Combined with our planned implementation of new technologies, the realignment of Copart’s business and corporate operations will allow us to better respond to the needs of our clients and the global market.”
Copart, founded in 1982, provides vehicle sellers with remarketing services to process and sell salvage and clean title vehicles to dealers, dismantlers, rebuilders, exporters and, in some states, to end users.
