Leading International Vehicle Manufacturer

One of the world’s leading vehicle manufacturers is expanding its U.S. presence with tactical Vehicle Processing Centers (VPCs) located in various ports. This gives the manufacturer a distinct distribution advantage as it offers drivers the most diverse line-up in the luxury segment with 12 model lines.

Its Brunswick, Georgia VPC consists of four structures totaling 103,260 sq. ft on a 50-acre site. It is one of five VPC facilities in the U.S. that serve as the first stop – after U.S. Customs – for new vehicles destined for the vehicle manufacturer’s dealerships throughout the United States. Located on the south side of Colonels Island, the Brunswick VPC is strategically port-located to processes vehicles headed for the manufacturer’s dealerships throughout the Southern Region, Texas and Oklahoma. Once transferred to the VPC, the manufacturer processes the vehicles then coordinates pick-up by the carrier for delivery to the destination dealer. The facility brings more than 40,000 vehicles into the port annually.

“In addition to its strategic location to improve efficiencies, many of the key functions for vehicle inspection and prep leverage advanced computerized control systems and facilities designed to ensure the high-quality condition of each new vehicle,” explains Jon Kron, Care Security Systems project manager. “The VPC is capable of accessory installation, full body shop operations, homologation operations, and vehicle detailing and distribution operations.”

With their state-of-the art, high-value assets, the vehicle manufacturer placed a high value on securing the Brunswick VPC. Which is why the vehicle manufacturer turned to the experienced team at Care Security Systems to design a comprehensive security solution.

A Comprehensive Security Solution

The VPC is built with functional design and efficiency to optimize the work environment. The VPC has been in the process of being LEED Certified as it incorporates components that are environmentally friendly from water use reduction to indoor environmental quality controls including use of daylight in 75 percent of spaces, thermal monitors and construction materials, such as solar panels.

As part of the building and security design, Care Security Systems carefully inspected the VPC site and discussed the site’s unique needs with the vehicle manufacturer. Care Security Systems Installed security turnstiles as well as video intercoms, wireless transponders in the valet drivers’ vehicles and access control points to make it seamless for authorized drivers to pass through the security gates.

Building Upon Sustainability

“We’ve created security solutions in a wide variety of environments,” says Renee Schwab, Chief Executive Officer of Care Security Systems. “Our techs have extensive, hands-on experience implementing security solutions from a wide range of manufacturers, which made us able to easily complement the sustainable standards of the Brunswick VPC.”

With millions of dollars of assets on the line, the vehicle manufacturer placed complete trust in Care Security Systems’ experienced designers, technicians and installation team to deliver a customized security plan just as Care Security Systems had done for the Baltimore and Southern California VPCs and in the vehicle manufacturer’s locations throughout the United States.
