Barloworld Equipment marked its 90-year anniversary as a Caterpillar dealer with the official opening today of a new, state-of-the-art distribution warehouse that is expected to dramatically reduce the time it takes for customers to order and collect spare parts for their machines.
Barloworld Equipment Johannesburg is located at Barloworld Equipment’s Isando campus and will serve South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Angola, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia.
“The new parts facility will dramatically improve the turnaround time from order to collection of parts for our customers, speeding up repairs and maintenance work on the machines we supply to them,” said Dominic Sewela, CEO of Barloworld Limited.
“This will help reduce downtime and boost productivity ahead of the anticipated recovery in commodity markets,” said Sewela.
