Global Parts Network, LLC (GPN), a wholly-owned subsidiary of VIPAR Heavy Duty, has opened two new CoMan (Cooperative Manufacturing) Centers in the eastern and western parts of the United States.
The eastern CoMan Center is located in the suburbs of Indianapolis, Ind., and became operational in February. The western facility, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, will open on April 1. New and remanufactured brake shoes and related product are available from the two facilities. The strategic location of the facilities helps VIPAR Heavy Duty provide timely service to its distributors and customers.
The new facilities will support GPN’s brake remanufacturing operations and will also serve as parts distribution centers to the VIPAR Heavy Duty distributor network.
“Global Parts Network’s new CoMan Centers will help our distributors remain competitive in today’s challenging marketplace with quality remanufactured brake friction products,” said Steve Crowley, president and CEO, VIPAR Heavy Duty. “In addition, it will help us provide more value to end users with superior products that are produced in state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.”
Global Parts Network is an independent company that provides service support exclusively to the VIPAR Heavy Duty network of distributors and suppliers. GPN leverages the latest technology to bring demand chain partners together to create business process efficiencies and specializes in high-volume, fast-moving parts. GPN's primary concern is to continue to grow market share, increase profits and provide customer support for both VIPAR Heavy Duty’s supplier partners and distributors.
