August 3, 2023Pretty Much a Press Release

Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc., a distributor of low-cab-forward trucks that are great for independent breweries that self-distribute, announced that its parts distribution center in Scranton, Pa., was recently named one of North America’s top performing warehouses in Carlisle & Co.’s 2023 North American Parts Benchmark (NAPB).

The Scranton warehouse—part of Isuzu’s Center of Excellence comprising a state-of-the-art, 100,000-square-foot parts distribution center and a world-class 30,000-square-foot training and technical assistance facility—finished in a tie for second place (with CNH Industrial in Reno, Nevada) among all entrants in the heavy-equipment division, beating such illustrious competition as John Deere, Volvo, Daimler Truck, Kubota and more. First place went to a Navistar facility in Edmonton, Alberta.

The rankings were based on five metrics, all weighted equally:

“When we opened this facility in northeast Pennsylvania in July 2016, we knew we were taking a risk calling it a ‘Center of Excellence,” said Shaun Skinner, president of Isuzu Commercial Truck of America and Isuzu Commercial Truck of Canada. “But this award proves that we have created a productive, reliable, high-tech parts distribution center that stands with the very best across multiple industries.”

The Center of Excellence puts three major functions supporting dealerships and customers in the region under one roof:

The award was presented on April 26, 2023, at the NAPB 2023 Conference in Universal City, California. Isuzu Commercial Truck of America, Inc., operates a second Center of Excellence in Anaheim, California.
