Bobcat has announced the opening of a new distribution and spare parts centre for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in Halle, Germany. As a result of a multi-million euro investment and utilising the latest in warehousing and sorting technology, the new centre will ensure the speedy delivery of spare parts and other components to dealers and customers throughout the region.

Bobcat has around 180 dealers in 75 EMEA countries, and the new state-of-the-art facility will ensure the fastest service for the company's dealers and their customers.

Located close to Leipzig Airport, the new 43,000 sqm Bobcat Aftermarket Service Centre covers an area equivalent to 14 full-sized football pitches. Over 150,000 different spare parts and components are stocked in the new centre. These are delivered from Bobcat factories (in the USA and Europe) and certified suppliers from around the world and made available directly to dealers and their customers in EMEA.

The centre is also responsible for supplying aftermarket products to the Parts Distribution Centre in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The Dubai PDC supplies spare parts to Bobcat and Doosan Portable Power dealers in the Middle East and East Africa.

Paulo Florindo, aftermarket senior director, Doosan Bobcat EMEA, comments: "With the high investment in the new distribution centre, we are also very clearly committed to EMEA as a region. The new centre will enable us to supply our customers even faster and more flexibly with everything they need. With 130 new jobs created, we are confident we will provide the best service."
