Partnership for Future Growth, by Frank Ferrara
Hyundai Motor America (HMA) began outsourcing the parts logistics functions effective January 1, 2009. MOBIS Parts America (MPA) is responsible for warehousing, traffic, the call center, and parts supply areas. Parts sales, marketing, and invoicing continue to be handled by HMA. MOBIS also provides similar support for the Kia parts business.
MOBIS is part of the Hyundai Automotive Group of companies. MOBIS is a global company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea and is responsible for service parts sales and distribution for Hyundai/Kia companies in most areas of the world. MOBIS is also a tier one supplier to automotive companies around the world including chassis modules for Jeep in Toledo, Ohio. MOBIS plans on becoming one of the world’s top 10 suppliers of parts and automotive modules in the next few years. MOBIS currently operates a Parts Distribution Center in Montgomery, Alabama which supports HMA. They also operate a Parts Distribution Center in Miami for the South and Central American markets.
Since the outsourcing began January 1, 2009, this arrangement should be completely transparent to you. MOBIS is operating out of the same facilities, with the same processes, the same terms and conditions, and most importantly - the same people. Long term it should mean a leaner and more efficient parts organization that is focused primarily on giving its customers, Hyundai dealers, the best parts support in the industry. In the future MOBIS will expand the PDCs network and make significant investments in new systems. The Hyundai parts support will continue to be world class and MOBIS will be a key partner in our future growth.
