Blaine Brothers Family of Companies announced a new parts distribution center. The over 25,000 square foot facility at 754 Vandalia Street, St. Paul, Minnesota, is centrally located between all nine of the company’s facilities directly between Minneapolis and St. Paul off Interstate 94 and Highway 280.
The expanded space, designed for high efficiencies, is fully equipped to stock a wider range of fast-moving parts while increasing the breadth of inventory which will result in faster service and delivery for all customers. The facility will serve as an additional will-call location and have daily deliveries to all facilities.
“The new PDC will help us up the game in terms of having the parts our customers need,” said Tim Grabow, VP. “We can optimize inventory across our network of locations, so parts are where they are needed, increasing our speed to getting them in our customers’ hands and keeping trucks on the road.”
Today’s environment has created many challenges with parts procurement. The company stated that the opening of its PDC will allow them to have the correct inventory and needed parts customers look for daily.
“This will allow us to carry the depth of inventory on key parts, so no matter what is going on in the supply chain, we can ensure that we have parts available for our customers,” said Dean Dally, CEO.
“The new PDC is a demonstration of our commitment to doing everything we can to provide exceptional service to our customers,” said Phil Howard, Director of Parts.
