DALLAS, March 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Copart, Inc.
(NASDAQ: CPRT), a global online vehicle auction company, is proud
to announce the opening of its 15th location in California. The new Wilmington, Calif., location is Copart's 200th
location worldwide and its seventh location in the southern
California market.
"More than three decades ago, Copart opened its first yard in
California, so it's only fitting
that the landmark opening of our 200th location is also in
California," said Jay Adair, CEO of Copart. "I'm extremely proud
of the hard work that has gotten us here, and I look forward to
continued success."
In 2002, Copart expanded to 100 locations in the United States. One year later, it opened
its first international location in Canada. Today, Copart has operations in 11
countries across five continents.
"A growing global presence is a win for both our sellers and
buyers. For our sellers, it improves cycle time and reduces costs.
For our buyers, it increases access to a greater volume and variety
of vehicles," said Vinnie Mitz,
President of Copart.
Through Copart's patented multi-channel online platform, sellers
are linked to potential buyers, and bidders can view location
information, search vehicles, place bids and participate in live
online car auctions on their mobile devices, tablets and
computers.
In addition to conducting online vehicle auctions, Copart is a
proud community partner. Visit TeamCopart.com for a glimpse into
