CNH Parts and Service, the product support division of agricultural and construction equipment maker CNH Global, plans to expand its Lebanon, Ind., operations, creating up to 100 new jobs by 2014.
The company will invest $13.3 million to lease and equip a 153,000-square-foot facility in the Lebanon Business Park, bringing the company’s footprint at the site to 1.2 million square feet in three buildings. The new facility, which will be fully operational by 2014, will include a new command and control operation for the company’s parts delivery system.
CNH, which already has more than 500 full-time employees and 200 contract employees in Lebanon, has begun hiring additional material handlers, equipment operators, packagers, logistics, administrative and support personnel.
“The new processing center will significantly enhance and expand the overall capabilities of our North American parts operations,” said Scott Harris, vice president of CNH Parts & Service for North America. “Its mission is to provide new and highly specialized services that will help our dealers grow their parts sales, even in the most highly competitive segments of our business.”
CNH operates 11 parts distribution facilities in North America, and has a network of about 11,500 dealers in 170 countries.
