Fenner Dunlop opened a conveyor belting distribution center in Phoenix as a means to support its growth in the Western U.S.
The new facility, which spans 15,000 sq. ft., will be stocked with heavy-duty conveyor belting to support Fenner Dunlop’s Western distributors and end users in markets such as aggregates. The facility also has cutting and slitting capabilities for quick response to distributor and end user needs, Fenner Dunlop says.
“With our Western distribution partners continuously seeking to expedite Fenner Dunlop belting to their larger industrial customers, our new distribution center will make huge strides toward addressing this need,” says Gary Lang, Western executive account manager at Fenner Dunlop. “Fenner Dunlop’s industrial partners certainly don’t have time to wait as they engage in expanding business opportunities in the West. The Western distribution center now brings Fenner Dunlop value much closer to them.”
Adds Darryl Kitzmiller, area manager at Fenner Dunlop: “We’ve seen significant growth in heavy mining opportunities such as precious metals and hard rock mining in the West, and Fenner Dunlop understands that downtime is extremely costly for these operations. We are excited to now have the resources to better serve these markets.”
