Zacks Equity Research
Updated

Meritor, Inc. MTOR reported opening of the Eastern Canada Regional Distribution Center in Mississauga, Ontario. This marks the company’s fourth distribution facility in the North American aftermarket. The new facility will cater to dealers and warehouse distributors of seven provinces.

Per management, the addition of Mississauga center shows Meritor’s commitment to simplify business transactions and enhance customer satisfaction. This addition is expected to help east Canadian customers to receive their orders in shorter lead times, with mostly unchanged ordering and processing practices. Orders, which will be placed before 4 p.m. ET, will be shipped on the same day. Further, customers can opt for a product-pickup option.

The newly-added hub stocks Meritor’s Aftermarket brand portfolio to cater its customers in Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec.
