"The Lehigh Valley was the best choice primarily from a logistic perspective for parts deliveries and accessibility to the dealers who will be serviced by the facility," Rob Nemchik, the general manager for Porsche Logistics Service tells GlobeSt.com. "The Training Center is for technical training of Porsche Dealership personnel. It is not a repair shop."

Chrin Commerce Centre will be built in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley just outside of Porsche's big market areas such as Philadelphia and New York City. The valley is 70 miles away from each major city.

The new facility will increase operating efficiency and improve customer service. "The northeast region was previously serviced out of the Atlanta Distribution Center," says Nemchik. "The time it takes to get parts to Porsche dealers in the Northeastern US and eastern Canada will be greatly reduced and, at the same time, the cost to ship will decrease. In addition, Porsche will realize the positive synergies of combining three departments in one location, something already established at our facility in Ontario with a great deal of success," Nemchik says in a prepared statement.
