Meyer Distributing has opened a new location in Reading, Penn.
The cross-dock facility will have a direct, next-day feed from Meyer’s East Hanover, N.J., and Scranton, Penn., distribution hubs, which house some of the largest inventories of automotive, RV, and marine accessories and replacement parts as well as outdoor lifestyle, janitorial/sanitation, and industrial products in the region.
“The density of traffic and vehicles in the Northeast warrants expansion of our crash and collision logistics distribution points,” said Jim Sherman, sales manager of the Crash and Collision Parts division for Meyer. “It’s been tremendous how many first-time customers we have received throughout the Northeast in the last year through estimating systems like CCC, PartsTrader, Mitchell, etc. as well as with direct to business relationships whereby we can also provide shop supplies to keep things running well on the floor. At a time when others’ inventories are going down, ours have never been higher. We look forward to earning a better WD spot on the customer call list and keeping the competition honest!”
“More distribution points lead to shorter routes and happier drivers,” said Jeff Braun, CEO of Meyer. “In today’s environment, finding the right balance between complexity of a logistics network and driver retention is key. We look forward to providing more consistent and reliable service from this dock from Maryland to New York and everywhere in-between!”
