Meritor, Inc. announced plans to consolidate its North America aftermarket distribution operations to improve efficiency. Customer orders will be handled from three facilities: Florence, Kentucky; Edmonton, Alberta; and Monterrey, Mexico. The Brampton, Ontario site will stop fulfillment of customer orders April 1, 2016 and the facility will close shortly thereafter.

Eastern Canada customer orders will be fulfilled through the Florence, Kentucky site beginning April 4. The Customer Care Center currently housed at the Brampton location will continue to operate and will be relocated to a new facility in the Brampton area. The company met with employees to discuss the consolidation, which will impact approximately 25 employees. Meritor's North America aftermarket distribution centers handle more than 1,000 calls a day and offer the broadest undercarriage and drivetrain portfolio in the industry, with approximately 30,000 SKUs stocked.
