Copart Opens in Corpus Christi, Texas

November 20, 2002

Copart Inc. opened its 12th auction facility in Texas. According to the company, with the addition of this 12-acre greenfield facility in Corpus Christi it now has 99 locations in 40 states.

“The new Corpus Christi location is in the central section of the city near the end of Interstate 37,” said Willis J. Johnson, Copart’s CEO. “The new facility will allow us to better serve our suppliers in the region. Previously this area was served by our McAllen and San Antonio facilities, which are over two hours away.”

Since August 2001, Copart has added 15 locations including four MAG sites in New Castle, Del.; Greencastle and West Mifflin, Pa.; and Richmond, Va. and eleven Copart salvage sites in Savannah and Tifton, Ga.; Charleston, W.V.; Lyman, Maine; Tucson, Ariz.; Somerville, N.J.; Haslet and Amarillo, Texas; Reno, Nev.; Springfield, Mo.; and Corpus Christi, Texas.

Copart, founded in 1982, provides vehicle suppliers, primarily insurance companies, with a full range of services to process and sell salvage vehicles through auctions, principally to licensed vehicle dismantlers, rebuilders, repair licensees and used vehicle dealers.
