FleetPride has opened a new 110,000 sq. ft. distribution center in Visalia, CA, to service the heavy-duty truck and trailer parts aftermarket in the western U.S., the company said. Stocking over 30,000 parts in its inventory, the Visalia facility will also offer axle assembly, kitting and light packaging.

"FleetPride chose this location because it is centrally located in California, allowing for one day transit anywhere within the state," said Robert Lindley, vp-supply chain. "From Visalia, we can also deliver to any of our 43 western region company owned branches in two days or less."

It is the third distribution center in the U.S. for the company.
