Copart, Inc. recently announced its plans to move the company's headquarters from Fairfield, Calif., to Dallas, Texas, by 2012. The move is part of the car seller's effort to grow, keep up with increasing demand, and be more accessible to customers.
Copart also is planning to open three divisional processing centers in Fairfield; Grand Prairie, Texas; and Hartford, Conn. during the next two years. Some duties currently performed at the Fairfield headquarters will be taken on by these centers.
"This change will position us closer to our customers geographically, resulting in improved customer service and greater operational efficiencies," Copart CEO Jay Adair said in a statement. "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."
The company's move to the
Dallas area is good news for the local economy, which
continues to recover from the economic downturn. During December, the area's unemployment rate dropped from 8.3 percent to 8 percent, which was well below the national average at the time of 9.4 percent.
According to the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Dallas-Plano-Irving area employed about 2,050,700 workers during December, which is up from 2,045,900 workers during November and a 1.4 percent increase from the previous year.
Copart provides a variety of services for people and businesses looking to sell their vehicles. The company currently has 152 operations throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
The company uses a specific type of online technology to sell salvage and clean title vehicles to dealers, dismantlers, rebuilders, exporters, and individual drivers. They sell vehicles on behalf of insurance companies, banks, finance companies, fleet operators, dealers, car dealerships, and the general public.
