  Subaru has taken home top honors once again at the 2026 Ducker Carlisle North American Parts Benchmark Awards! Repeating its impressive success from last year, the automaker surged past a strong group of industry competitors to sweep the top three positions. These major victories were presented during the annual Ducker Carlisle North American Parts Benchmark Conference.
Subaru Wins Top Three Podium Spots
Subaru went head-to-head with more than 30 participating OEM member companies that contend in this annual competition. Alongside rival automakers, Subaru also competed against major powersports and heavy equipment manufacturers from around the world. Matching last year's standout results, Subaru earned first place in the Top Performing Warehouse category, with three of its regional distribution centers sharing the top spot: Douglasville, Georgia; Aurora, Colorado; and Ontario, California.
While the entire organization is celebrating this clean sweep, Jim Pernas, Vice President of Fixed Operations - Parts Group at Subaru of America, Inc., highlighted his team's commitment and hard work:
"Subaru is proud to receive this recognition for the second consecutive year, and to continue meeting and exceeding our own high standards that support the quality of Genuine Subaru Parts and Accessories. Our national network of warehouses continues to raise the bar with its commitment to quality and efficiency, and its dedication to working hand in hand with our retailers."
In addition to securing the top three spots, Subaru placed seven of its SOA distribution facilities in the national top 20 under the "Lines per Head per Year" productivity metric. Remarkably, five of those facilities placed inside the top 10—a rare accomplishment for any single manufacturer evaluated at the NAPB Conference.
Highly regarded throughout the industry, the conference provides leading brands like Subaru with well-earned recognition. The event measures supply chain efficiency across North American OEMs before submitting performance data to Ducker Carlisle for benchmarking. While this year's results were a huge success for Subaru, the brand is already looking ahead, aiming to carry this winning momentum straight into next year's evaluation.
