(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
GREENWICH, Conn. - July 27, 2017 - XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO), a leading
global provider of transportation and logistics solutions, has launched a
custom-designed parts warehousing and distribution network for JLG Industries,
Inc. in North America. JLG is a leading global manufacturer of access equipment
for the construction and industrial markets.
In 2016, JLG selected XPO as its strategic partner to create a next-generation
logistics solution for its aftermarket operations. The new network utilizes two
dedicated, state-of-the-art distribution centers operated by XPO: a 215,000-
square-foot facility in Las Vegas that serves customers in the western United
States and Canada, and a 316,000-square-foot facility in Atlanta that serves the
Midwest and East. Applicable international shipments will also eventually be
served from the Atlanta facility.
"We chose XPO Logistics as our strategic partner based on their expertise in
handling the demands of high-volume logistics and distribution," said Jonathan
Dawley, global vice president, aftermarket with JLG Industries. "The new network
solves the goals we set for the collaboration - improved speed, reliability and
throughput, cost efficiency for our customers, and capacity for growth."
XPO tailored its technology to optimize inbound parts receipt and stocking,
order picking and fulfillment, quality control, shipping, returns management and
continuous improvement. Each site maintains an inventory of approximately
65,000 SKUs, including the JLG Genuine and JLG Reman parts lines, as well as
JLG's new MaxQuip line of more than 18,000 SKUs from over 70 industry
manufacturers.
Ashfaque Chowdhury, XPO Logistics president, supply chain-Americas and Asia
Pacific, said, "The transition went smoothly following a strong collaborative
effort. JLG now has a cutting-edge aftermarket parts distribution network that's
strategically positioned for greater efficiency. Our team is proud to help JLG
deliver its expanded parts offering to customers, with a technology framework
that supports future growth."
