CNH Case New Holland last week broke ground on a new parts distribution center in Cameron, Mo. The 500,000-square-foot facility is expected to be completed by early 2007 and be fully operational by mid-year.

The facility, chosen for its proximity to several interstate highways, will serve about 560 CNH dealers in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.

In other Case news, Case Construction Equipment was selected by the U.S. Army Tank, Automotive and Armaments Command to refurbish 200 M4K rough-terrain forklifts to mission-capable condition. The contract, which will involve a three-year process, is valued at about $15.5 million
