Bendix said it is transforming its distribution center into a state-of-the-art facility and consolidating dampers manufacturing into a single, larger space.
Over the next year and a half, the Bendix Distribution Center – the company’s primary North American distribution point – will upgrade into an operation using automation technology, while the engine vibration damper business will consolidate production into a larger space on the campus.
The changes are the result of a multimillion-dollar capital investment, Bendix said.
The 33,000-square-foot facility is strategically positioned near major transportation hubs, providing optimal access to raw materials and speeding shipment of finished goods to all U.S. markets.

Sustainability is embedded in every facet of the company’s operations, Joffe affirmed.
