The new 6,000-square-foot facility near Auburn Hills, MI is the third distribution hub for Motor City in the greater Detroit area and fourth overall.

HAZEL PARK, MI Motor City Industrial, a wholesale industrial supplier of fasteners, bearings and consumable products to automation, defense, manufacturing and OEMs and MRO customers across the midwest and southeast, has opened a fourth distribution facility in Auburn Hills, MI.
