ZF Services recently celebrated the re-opening of its Vernon Hills, Ill., aftermarket distribution center which was expanded by 81 percent to 289,000 square feet.
“With our centralized location, great people, quality products and commitment to excellence, I know we will exceed our customers’ expectations,” said Tim Corcoran, president and COO of ZF Services North America, who dedicated the expanded facility with about 300 colleagues. “Having all of our competencies under one roof will allow our organization to be extremely flexible in meeting our customers’ needs.”
ZF Services broke ground on the expansion in May 2009, about a year and a half after the merger of ZF Sales & Service NA, LLC and ZF Trading NA, LLC was announced. Construction was completed last October, followed by two months of facility preparation and three months of transferring more than 255 truckloads of products from an Ohio distribution facility.
The facility, which originally opened in 1993, now has storage capacity of more than 25,000 pallet locations and a 40-foot clear height.
