WESTCHESTER, Ill. -

Discussing IAA’s Thursday announcement that it has opened its Templeton, Mass., facility, the company’s chief executive officer and president John Kett said New England continues to be an important market for IAA.

“This branch, along with the seven others in and around Boston, support our growth strategy in this major market,” Kett said in a news release. “This new facility is one of the latest investments we continue to make up and down the Atlantic coastal region.”

IAA said that the IAA Templeton site — located at 223 Baldwinville Road in Templeton — includes 55 gross acres of land.  IAA Templeton, the company’s third branch in Massachusetts and its eighth branch within a 100-mile radius of Boston, will support strong customer demand in Massachusetts and New England overall, according to IAA.

The company added that the site also supports inventory growth in that area.

Preview days are Thursdays from noon to 4 p.m. ET, with sales days taking place Fridays starting at 1 p.m. ET.
