Komatsu America International, Vernon Hills, Ill., has begun building a new parts distribution center in Las Vegas that will carry stock and emergency-order inventory for West Coast distributors.
The new 102,000-square-foot facility, slated to open in June, will replace an existing 46,000-square-foot facility in Hayward, Calif. Komatsu also has a parts facility in Ripley, Tenn.
"This will enable daily truck service and reduced freight charges for parts," said Moe Iverson, vice president of the parts division.
