Douglas Manufacturing opened a 58,000-sq.-ft. distribution center in Rockford, Ill. The Midwest facility will house inventory items for immediate shipment or local pickup, including heavy-duty drum pulleys, heavy-duty wing pulleys, XT equivalent hubs and bushings, CEMA C idlers and Guardian Premium return roll guards.
Douglas says it can now reach most of the Continental United States with inventory in one day. The company also has a distribution center in Sacramento, Calif., and it houses inventory at its Pell City, Ala., plant as well. Douglas previously served the Midwest from its Alabama plant.
