Kuehne+Nagel (K+N) has opened a new facility near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport to support MRO firm MHI Aviation Group.
The new location will support MHI’s aerospace parts offering for both international and domestic shipments.
A facility in Des Plaines Illinois was previously utilised for the operation. By moving closer to Dallas Fort Worth, time to market will be reduced and flight options will increase.
K+N has installed three Vertical Lift Modules in the new facility to enable a more “effective storage configuration while providing enhanced efficiency during the picking and put-a-way process”.
“This is an exciting new partnership, that builds on our strategic focus in the aerospace industry and further expands our growing presence in the Dallas/Forth Worth area,” said Eduardo Razuck, senior vice president, Contract Logistics Americas for K+N.
“The investment in a new facility in the area is the latest step in growing our network focused on supporting our customers.”
Erick Legros, senior director, distribution network and warehouse transition, added: “Through this collaboration, MHIRJ will establish a new spare parts distribution center of over 110,000 sq ft, providing ample space for our entire inventory and future expansion.
“The strategic location of the distribution center, which is only 15 miles away from the Dallas Fort Worth airport, makes it the perfect spot for global distribution of all our aircraft parts and components. The investment in this infrastructure is intended to maintain our superior service standards and cater to our customers’ operational requirements.”
