New SANY UK parts warehouse opens for business
Dedicated warehouse stocks over 10,000 parts lines and more than 250,000 individual items
REPRESENTING an investment of more than £7.5 million, SANY have opened a new, dedicated parts warehouse that is expected to transform stock control and parts availability for the company’s UK operation, helping to boost the aftermarket customer experience.
With a floor area of 11,000 sq ft, the new warehouse accommodates over 10,000 parts lines and more than 250,000 individual stock items, allowing SANY to serve their UK dealer network more efficiently with improved processes and operations.
Following significant growth in the UK market during the last two years, SANY have transferred their entire parts inventory to this larger, dedicated warehouse, which is located on the same site as their headquarters in Coatbridge, Scotland. It also allows room for future growth as the company continues to strengthen its presence and expand on its product range in 2023.
The new facility, which has taken six months to develop, includes a two-tier picking tower as well as five aisles of bulk racking, a parts counter, and an office area for dedicated parts personnel. The centre will stock everything from smaller, fast-moving parts, such as fuel caps and filters, to larger items such as engines, track tensioners, and cabs.
Leigh Harris, business development director for the UK and Ireland, commented: ‘Our new facility is a really exciting step forward for the parts and service operation of SANY UK. We realized that with our considerable growth we needed to develop a dedicated facility to ensure we serve the needs of our dealers and our customers. This new parts centre will allow for greater access to a vast stock of spare parts for our construction machinery and will help us to ensure we offer the best aftermarket service possible.’
