CALGARY, Ontario Fleet Brake Parts & Service has announced plans for a new parts distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario. When at full capacity, the 50,000-square-foot facility will employ up to 50 people and is expected to be operational in February 2013. The company says this new facility will be an important link in the Fleet Brake parts distribution network and will improve its ability to better serve customers in the Greater Toronto Area.
“This investment in a key market for Fleet Brake is the next step in the multiyear expansion of our Canadian parts distribution network. We are focused on ensuring our customers’ success through a high-velocity network that delivers the industry’s best parts availability, ” said John Bzeta, president of Fleet Brake.
Access to major air and seaports complemented by a major highway network make this an ideal location for a strategic logistics operation, the company adds. The facility represents an increase of nearly 50,000 square feet to the overall distribution network.
Expansion of existing Fleet Brake parts distribution facilities also is taking place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Grand Prairie, Alberta.
