Phillips strengthens commitment to faster, more adaptive supply chain

Phillips Industries has opened a new 67,000 sq.-ft. state-of-the-art parts distribution center in the Cincinnati, Ohio, region.

Located just outside the city and just minutes from I-75, I-71, and I-275, the facility is now fully operational and shipping fast-moving aftermarket trucking products and solutions to customers across the country. Positioned within one of North America’s most connected logistics corridors, Phillips says the facility shortens distance to market while creating a more consistent and responsive distribution experience for Phillips Industries’ customers.

The new facility is the result of a long-term strategic approach by Phillips to rethink how aftermarket service should be delivered, building a faster, more adaptive supply model designed around how fleets, distributors and service providers operate today and how the industry is evolving, the company says. Centralizing distribution in the Cincinnati region enables Phillips to simplify North American fulfillment, respond more dynamically to real-world demand, and reduce variability in delivery timelines.

“It’s all about shrinking the time from order to receipt,” says Rob Phillips, CEO of Phillips Industries. “Our customers work hard to manage their cash. By helping them place smaller orders and receive parts just a few days later, we’re making it easier than ever to do business with Phillips.”

The company says inventory at the facility is managed through Phillips’ enterprise resource planning (ERP) system using a dynamic stocking strategy that reflects market conditions and customer needs. The facility is designed to service stocked items within five business days, helping customers minimize downtime and keep trucks and trailers in service.
