On Tuesday, Copart announced the opening of its seventh location in Brazil.

The facility is located at Estrada da Roseira, 6.725, bairro Borda do Campo, Sao Jose dos Pinhais, near the city of Curitiba, the capital of the state of Parana.

Copart highlighted the new Curitiba location, which can store up to 7,000 vehicles, is strategically located to meet increasing buyer and seller needs in Brazil. The operation hosts weekly auctions on Tuesdays at 1 p.m. UTC-3.

“Our new facility in Paraná state reinforces Copart’s long-term commitment to the Brazilian market,” Copart Brazil president Adiel Avelar said. “We continue to build a national footprint to support the needs of insurance companies and other sellers.”

Copart chief executive officer Jay Adair added, “The addition of locations accommodates increasing market demand and reflects our continuing growth in Brazil. We are better positioned to provide greater convenience and an enhanced experience to all of our customers, both buyers and sellers.”

In addition to conducting online vehicle auctions, Copart reiterated that it is a proud community partner. Copart Brazil is proud to assist community daycare Elydia Bertaiolli Duarte by donating toys for its Children’s Day. It also donates food baskets to Instituto Ellus each month.
