SALFORD EXPANDING

Salford Farm Machinery Limited is adding two new parts distribution centers in western Canada, bringing the number of North American parts distribution loca­tions to six, in order to help keep pace with the company’s expanding dealer network.

"We have seen rapid expansion of our dealer network in western Canada," said Jim Boak, Canadian sales manager at Salford. "As those dealers come on-line, we’re support­ing them in a number of ways, including parts distribution to help keep their customers satisfied."

The new parts distribution centers are located in Manitoba and Alberta, close to major junctions on the Trans-Canada Highway to help maximize coverage and shorten delivery times. These two new locations complement existing parts distribution centers in Ohio, North Dakota, Iowa and Ontario.

"Together with these new distribution centers we’ve also added staff and made additional investments in our inventory management system, to better meet existing requirements as well as account for seasonal variability in our parts inventory," said Salford General Manager Geof Gray.

Gray says the new parts distribution centers will also benefit from and be supported by the company’s recently completed 54,000 square foot expansion at its Ontario facility. "The bigger shipping yard and increased warehousing space at our head office plant has helped us to hit the ground running at the two new distribution centers."
