TNT Logistics selected for logistics at Dodge Charger plant
TNT Logistics North America has been selected to operate a second inbound support facility for the Chrysler Group assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario, where the new 2006 Dodge Charger is manufactured.
The operation includes a variety of logistics support and parts sequencing services to the Chrysler Group. It adds 98,000 square feet of logistics support space, in addition to the 320,000-square-foot facility TNT was already operating in the area for Chrysler.
TNT said that with the growing complexity of other product lines and the launch of the all-new Dodge Charger, which went on sale in June, Chrysler and TNT jointly determined that more warehouse space would be needed, along with a third shift at the existing facility. TNT located a nearby, partially completed facility and finished it to the Chrysler Group's specifications in about six weeks.
'We're pleased to have been selected by the Chrysler Group to support this plant in the launch of a new product line,' said Jeff Hurley, chief operating officer, TNT Logistic North America. 'This latest expansion with the Chrysler Group signifies the faith they have in our ability to provide high-quality, on-demand logistics services.'
