Staples Customer Begins Processing New Subarus at Oxnard Processing Center

Many vehicles come through the Port of Hueneme every year from overseas. Local processing centers handle final processing and distribution to dealerships across Southern California, Nevada, and New Mexico.

Now a new brand joins the Port: Subaru. With the help of Staples Construction.
