The new site replaces a collection of aging buildings that had served as the company’s headquarters since its founding in 1951. For CEO Josh Byers, the shift represents a commitment to the local workforce and a rejection of the industry trend toward service reduction. While larger competitors often rationalize locations to cut costs, ACS is prioritizing expanded capacity, including dedicated training spaces and enhanced color-matching technology.
Automotive Color & Supply Centralizes Operations in New Fort Wayne Hub
After seven decades of expanding across a sprawling two-block campus in Fort Wayne, Automotive Color & Supply has moved into a single, modern facility at 5428 Keystone Drive. The consolidation marks a generational investment for the family-run distributor, aimed at boosting order accuracy and streamlining fulfillment cycles for its regional network.
This infrastructure upgrade follows a aggressive growth strategy that saw the company acquire Paint Works, Smetzer Paint & Supply, and Ohio Paint Supply between 2024 and 2026. Now a portfolio company of WILsquare Capital, ACS maintains its headquarters in Indiana while extending its reach into Illinois, Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana. The company, which serves sectors ranging from aviation to collision repair, expects the new facility to provide the necessary scale for continued regional expansion.
