MAUMEE, Ohio, Aug. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) announced today the opening of new distribution centers in China and Mexico to increase product availability, improve delivery times, and provide additional support to its growing number of aftermarket customers.

These centers in Toluca, Mexico, and Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China, bring to 17 the total number of aftermarket-dedicated distribution centers globally and will serve as hubs in each region to provide parts for Dana's light-vehicle, commercial-vehicle, and off-highway customers.
