Vipar Heavy Duty will open parts distribution centers in key locations in the eastern and western parts of the United States that will feature warehousing operations, cross docking opportunities and brake shoe remanufacturing, the company has announced. The centers will become operational in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The new business will be part of Global Parts Network, LLC, an independent company that provides exclusive service support to Vipar’s distribution and supplier network.
