JCB opened its newest North American parts distribution center in Aurora, Ill., joining three other parts warehouses in Savannah, Ga.; Fontana, Calif.; and Ontario, Canada.
The Chicago facility will serve as the main parts distribution hub and provide the breadth and depth of inventory needed to service customers. The new facility will service a large portion of the Midwestern United States, the Northeast and South Central U.S.
“This new facility more than doubles our previous North American warehouse capacity, making it possible for us to stock more parts inventory in North America than ever before,” said Chris Giorgianni, vice president of parts and services, JCB North America. “Furthermore, by establishing our main parts distribution center in Chicago’s centralized location, we’ve been able to reduce transit times to our dealers. That means our North American customers will be able to more quickly get the parts they need to stay up and running.”
“JCB has now expanded from one parts distribution center to four locations,” said Arjun Mirdha, president and CEO, JCB North America. “With the opening of the Chicago facility, and the recent doubling of our Canadian facility, we’ve doubled our total parts warehouse capacity and continue to expand our reach throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico.”
