WESTCHESTER, Ill. -

Insurance Auto Auctions is ramping up its presence in Colorado’s capital with a brand new facility.

The salvage auto auction company announced Wednesday the opening of a new branch, Denver East, in Commerce City, Colo.

The new facility is located at 8510 Brighton Road, and grows IAA’s capacity in the Denver market to more than 60 acres.

The Denver East facility will host its official grand opening on July 1.

 "IAA is committed to giving our customers the highest level of customer service and the easiest options at auction — whether buying or selling vehicles," said John Kett, chief executive officer and president at IAA. "We have experienced strong growth in Denver and we are pleased to demonstrate our commitment to the local community with a new environmentally friendly facility in Commerce City.  We continue to hold the largest footprint in our industry, with more than 165 locations in North America and growing."

The company built the new facility with energy efficiency and environmental sustainability on the mind, management said.

The new site features LED lighting, enhanced insulation materials and the use of recycled asphalt for the surface, fly ash for the base material and recycled concrete for the rock base.
