Continental Tire the Americas is investing in its first fully owned tire distribution center in the United States.  

Construction of the new distribution center, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, will begin in September 2024. It will have the capacity to store 800,000 tires with operations scheduled to start in 2026.  

The facility will initially span 753,000 square feet, with the potential to expand to 1,255,000 square feet.  

The location was selected based on a comprehensive network study by Continental that identified the Dallas-Fort-Worth area as a key hub for tire manufacturing, according to Continental officials. 

Continental currently serves the U.S. market through seven distribution centers.  

“This facility marks our first owned tire distribution center in the U.S., reflecting our commitment to enhancing service levels and better attending to our customers,” says Bill Caldwell, senior vice president of passenger car and light truck tires in the U.S. for Continental. 

“Designed for future expansion, the new distribution center will include advanced automation technology and sustainability features, such as solar panels. We see the facility as a blueprint initiative for future building designs in respect of automation and renewable energy supply.”
