KUBOTA has opened a new European Parts Centre (EUPC) designed to strengthen the manufacturer’s global parts supply chain network.
Located in Thionville in the French region of Moselle, the new warehouse has been built as a dedicated parts distribution hub primarily to supply dealers and distributors across Europe and the UK, but with the ability to also support regions such as the US and Japan.
Representing an investment of €15 million, Kubota explained that the new EUPC covers a footprint of 20,000 square metres and employs around 90 staff. From this hub, dealers and distributors will have access to spare parts for agricultural, groundcare, and construction products, as well as industrial engines.
“The development of this extensive parts centre will provide greater access and availability to further support our existing regional parts supply operation in the UK,” said Simon Chadbone, Kubota UK’s business development manager for parts. “Having a European Parts Centre will greatly benefit our dealer and distributor network, by providing a more timely and cost-effective solution for the supply of original parts, which in turn will reduce the impact of downtime for our customers.”
