The facility will serve more than 130 New Holland, Case IH, and Case Construction equipment dealerships in the Pacific Northwest, and is expected to bring 35 to 40 new jobs to the Portland area, according to Anu Goel, vice president, North American parts operations for CNH Parts & Service. CNH is investing more than $15 million in the new distribution center, which also allows for future expansion.

“This particular site was chosen for its proximity to the Portland International Airport and port facilities, as well as its access to the major interstate highways in the region,” according to Goel. “Once it is operational, we anticipate that the new Portland distribution facility will be a key logistics and transportation hub within our network and our new gateway to the Pacific Northwest market.”

The new parts distribution facility will extend the company’s next-day distribution capabilities to equipment dealerships in nearly all regions of North America, and marks the completion of the company’s transition of its distribution operations from third-party logistics providers in North America to distribution sites that are managed and staffed by CNH.
