new home for subaru
A new era is unfolding at Subaru Canada, Inc. We are launching
stunning new product that will surely exceed all expectations.
However, we did face one problem: a definite lack of space. To
overcome this challenge, we prepared for the coming arrival of
the brand new Subaru B9 Tribeca by breaking ground for our new
Canadian corporate headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario, last year.
Over the next several months, occupants of more than 400,000
vehicles daily watched as the new Subaru head office grew steadily
at its premium location along the south side of Highway 401. This
past February, we moved in!
“Our new corporate home is a superb symbol of the future
of Subaru,” said Norio Osakabe, President, Chairman and CEO
of Subaru Canada, Inc. “It is beautiful as well as functional, built
to exacting standards of quality, and a safe and comfortable

from environmentally friendly suppliers who share our concern for
the future of the environment. Improved technologies were also
employed to move us closer to becoming a paperless environment.
Along with two floors of offices, the new headquarters includes
a state-of-the-art warehouse that greatly improves our ability to
deliver the goods – quickly! The technical training centre, with its
testing and research facilities, is also greatly expanded, providing
an even better opportunity to answer unique customer inquiries
that can’t be resolved at the dealership level.
This facility also allows us to climate-test the capability of
parts and accessories before they are released in our unique
Canadian market.
The Customer Service Call Centre centralized in our new head
office has also expanded. Subaru employees who have first-hand

environment for every member of the Subaru family.”
In designing the building, attention was paid to conservation
and to “buying Canadian” wherever possible. Large windows and
skylights not only provide an inviting work atmosphere, they also
serve to reduce energy consumption as much as possible. Office
furniture, workstations as well as building materials were sourced

knowledge of the product and our operations are now equipped
to handle all customer inquiries.
Back to our original reason for moving: space! There is plenty
of room for Subaru Canada, Inc. to grow long into the future as we
continue to introduce exciting new product to the Canadian market
and deliver improved levels of service to our customers.

Subaru Canada, Inc.’s new home can be found at 560 Suffolk Court in Mississauga, Ontario. It includes a state-of-the-art warehouse
facility featuring a massive parts distribution carousel that greatly improves Subaru Canada, Inc.’s ability to serve customers quickly.
