Atturo Tire Corp. is opening its second tire distribution center in two months. A facility opened in January in Danville, Va., and deliveries from another in Coppell, Texas, were to begin in the final days of February.
This gives Atturo four locations in the U.S. — alongside Waukegan, Ill., and Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. Atturo says the new locations "help to provide additional storage capacity for Atturo's growing product range."
The company says the addition of new tread patterns and 40-plus new part numbers in the last year magnified the need for additional storage.
Karl Becker, Atturo’s general manager, said, “Despite the challenges of the shutdowns, and the new anti-dumping tax, Atturo’s customer base continues to grow. In response to this demand and to better serve our enthusiastic distributors, dealers, and consumers, Atturo has increased our number of warehouses and overall inventory levels. As our national footprint increases, shipment transit times are decreasing for Atturo customers. With the addition of Texas and Virginia, and our facilities in Illinois and California, Atturo can reach anywhere in the continental US within two to three business days."
