Johnson Controls recently celebrated the 10-year anniversary of its battery distribution center in Yuma, Arizona. The facility currently employs 184 people and has shipped more than 75 million batteries since production started in June 2006.
To celebrate this milestone, a ceremony for employees was held at the plant on June 8.
“Celebrating our 10th anniversary gives us an opportunity to recognize the hard work and dedication of our employees,” said Joseph Moser, plant manager, Yuma Service and Distribution Center, Johnson Controls Power Solutions. “We are proud to provide our customers with high-quality products and service, while contributing to the growth and vitality of the Yuma area.”
The Johnson Controls Yuma facility is responsible for the final production and labeling of batteries that are shipped to automotive aftermarket customers and automakers located in nine surrounding states. In 2011, the facility was expanded to 265,000 square feet with the addition of 65,000 square feet of warehouse space. The distribution center is on track to supply 11 million batteries this year.
