Bobcat Company has expanded its U.S. aftermarket parts distribution centre (PDC) network with the opening of a new 396,000-square-foot facility in Atlanta.
This new facility, located in the West Fulton Commerce Park, celebrated its grand opening on January 25, 2023. Bobcat also opened a new PDC in Reno, Nevada, in September 2022. These two new facilities join the company's existing Bobcat distribution centres near Chicago in Woodridge, Illinois.
Located in Atlanta with accessibility to major airports and highways, the new PDC will provide Bobcat dealers with ideal service options, increased inventory, and faster parts delivery.
"This facility is intentionally located in Georgia so we can support the businesses of our customers and dealer partners throughout the Southeast region and beyond – all while providing them with greater parts availability and faster deliveries," says Mike Ballweber, president of Bobcat Company North America.
Bobcat's PDCs offer same-day order processing and extended order hours, expanded dealer support programs and customer service hours, faster delivery times, and additional shipping carrier options.
"We know these investments – first in Reno and now in Atlanta – will positively impact our dealer network and equipment owners by ensuring we can deliver the right parts at the right time in a more expedited manner thanks to geography and proximity," says Brad Claus, Bobcat Company vice president of aftermarket parts and service.
With the opening of these two facilities in Reno and Atlanta, Bobcat has nearly doubled its warehouse footprint. Between the three locations (Woodridge, Reno, and Atlanta), Bobcat's combined warehouse footprint in North America is now 896,000 square feet.
