PACCAR Parts Opens New $32 million Distribution Center in WA

PACCAR Parts’ new $32 million, state-of-the-art distribution center in Renton, Washington, is now fully operational.

Servicing dealers in the Northwestern U.S. and Western Canada, the new 160,000 square-foot parts distribution center (PDC) is almost three times the capacity of its predecessor built in 1973.

“By investing in the latest technology and more than doubling the square footage, we are demonstrating our commitment to being a world-class leader in aftermarket parts distribution,” said David Danforth, PACCAR Parts general manager and PACCAR vice president.

With a 15,000 square-foot small-parts mezzanine and state-of-the-art equipment such as stock-picking equipment with built-in weight scales and a custom parcel conveyor, the facility provides operational efficiency and a 125 percent increase in capacity of parts, enabling it to store over 39,000 different parts.

From a green perspective, energy efficient systems including LED lighting and daylight harvesting contribute to meeting the environmental goals of PACCAR Parts, illustrating the company’s commitment to business sustainability and making a positive impact in the world.

The facility also includes a 50-person training room.
