Did you know the Mills Automotive family includes the Mills Parts Center in Willmar, MN?

It’s an amazing place where wall-to-wall action happens 5 ½ days a week in buildings big enough to hold more than two football fields.    

The Willmar Industrial Park is where you’ll find the Mills Parts Center and its $11 million in wholesale automotive parts. More than 100 Mills team members clock-in most work days. About 20 of them are inside sales representatives who handle an average of 2,500 phone calls per day from customers. 

The specialized warehouse crew accounts for most of the staff. Some of them drive up and down 21 narrow rows with shelves on both sides (20 feet high) on special motorized vehicles with large lift platforms (a fork lift on steroids) to “pick” and handle about of 3,500 automotive parts of all shapes and sizes. 

Urgency is always in the air because most parts are for delivery the next day. They are packed in 27 trucks. Each truck will travel nearly 300 miles from Willmar to make about 700 deliveries to customers in Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota and Wisconsin. 

Mills is really good at it. After all they’ve been moving parts for more than 25 years. Mills Parts Center opened in 1990. 

Back to the two football fields.  One high school football field is about 57,600 square feet. Mills Parts Center covers nearly 160,000 square feet. You get the picture. Pretty big place!
