Kalmar bets on North American Genuine Parts warehouse

Finnish port equipment manufacturer Kalmar will relocate and outsource its Genuine Parts warehouse from Ottawa, Kansas, to Greenwood, Indiana.

The move is expected to improve delivery times and customer support, as well as enable the further growth of Kalmar’s Genuine Parts and Service businesses. The new Greenwood distribution center will allow Kalmar to store all parts in one stand-alone location with 112,000 sq ft facility.

The transition process is scheduled to begin in May and be completed by the end of July.

Kalmar will partner with Neovia Logistics, a Texas-based contract logistics company, which is a global expert in warehouse operations with 7,500 employees and a presence in 19 countries.

Neovia has operated the Kalmar Distribution Center in Europe since 2003.

Mike Fahy, CEO of Neovia, stated: “We are pleased to continue our close partnership and to offer Kalmar the capacity to process and ship orders efficiently within North America. Our proven processes and high safety and sustainability standards guarantee productivity and quality operations for Kalmar into the future.”

Headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, Kalmar operates globally in over 120 countries and employs approximately 5,200 people, while in 2024, the company’s sales totalled approximately €1.7 billion (US$1.95 billion).
