TVH's Olathe head office

TVH in the Americas has opened a new distribution centre in Portland, Oregon.

"In this industry, it is not enough to have great products. You also have to be the best at delivering the right parts around the world when promised," says a company statement. "We can only reach our customers if our products do. When we receive an order from a customer, we need to get it just right. The right parts in the right place at the right time."

The new centre is part of the company's ongoing effort to improve logistics and service to customers.

TVH will now offer one-day ground service from the Portland location to all of Oregon and parts of Washington and Idaho. TVH Portland will also service a wide range of customers in two- and three-day UPS ground shipping.

With the addition of the Portland, Oregon distribution centre, TVH will cover 92% of the industrial truck population in one-day ground service with more than 39 million parts.

TVH distributes materials handling parts and products from 15 locations in the Americas.
