Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems is closing its distribution center in Sparks, Nevada and consolidating its operations and parts inventory into its Bendix Distribution Center at Huntington, Indiana. The company will complete its consolidation at the end of Q2 2024.
“Consolidating our U.S.-based distribution operations into the state-of-the art, multishift-enabled Bendix Distribution Center at our Huntington location ensures improved responsiveness and flexibility for our customers – including increased accessibility,” Piotr Sroka, Bendix president, chief operating officer, and chief executive officer. “Thanks to a full slate of continuous improvement actions underway – and with new expanded hours for our shipping operation out of Huntington – we expect our service and responsiveness to improve even more as a result of this action.”

The organization stated that it expects no changes to parts availability and limited customer impact, if any, throughout the consolidation process. Additionally, the Spark’s location’s closure will not impact work at the Bendix distribution centers in Mexico City, Mexico, or Montreal, Canada.
“The decision to undertake the shift and shutter the Sparks facility was reached only with careful evaluation and consideration, including for those contractors – no full-time Bendix employees work at the site – who will be impacted by the closure,” Sroka said.
