Fontaine Parts opens Canadian distribution center

Updated Apr 12, 2012

Fontaine Parts Connection has opened a distribution center in Calgary, Alberta to serve its customers in Western Canada. Fontaine has contracted with FMi Logistics Inc. to fulfill its parts order from its warehouse, the company says.

“Adding this distribution center enables our customers throughout Western Canada to obtain their fifth wheel replacement parts more quickly and efficiently,” says Toby Harris, vice president of sales and marketing for Fontaine Parts Connection. “Instead of waiting several days for an order to arrive from the U.S. or Toronto, customers now will be able to receive most of their parts within a day.”

Fontaine says FMi offers regular same-day shipping on Fontaine parts and can handle emergency rush orders.

“Working with FMi will help Fontaine offer its area customers improved service levels,” says Dennis Gwilliam, general manager, warehousing and distribution for FMi Logistics. “We run an efficient, nimble operation and treat our customers’ goods as if they were our own.”
