Construction of the new spare parts center began in April 2024 and is set to be completed by March 2025. Strategically located next to the shipping facilities at the TOBROCO Experience Center, the center will be fully operational by June 2025. Toine Brock, CEO, states: “This strategic hub will enable us to enhance our parts delivery to dealers and customers worldwide.”

Spanning an impressive 5,500 m², the new distribution center is equipped with the latest technologies and automation systems. Highlights include the launch of an intuitive order portal, enhanced Track-and-Trace communication for shipments, and sophisticated software upgrades to elevate TOBROCO-GIANT's service excellence.

The spare parts center contributes to more efficient processing and shorter lead times for spare parts. The move allows production and spare parts inventories to be effectively separated. A centralized inventory enables TOBROCO-GIANT to achieve a higher first fill rate, meaning that customer orders can be delivered as much as possible directly from available stock. Additionally, a higher on-time rate ensures that deliveries are made promptly and according to schedule, which is essential for further building trust and customer satisfaction.

Sustainability is highly valued at TOBROCO-GIANT. The spare parts center is equipped with solar panels, and initiatives are actively pursued in packaging, waste management, and efficient transportation. A dedicated team at the new Spare parts center currently comprises 11 employees, with plans for future expansion.

Pieter van Rosmalen, Manager Spare Parts, about the new spare parts center: “We plan to use more technological solutions to improve the overall positioning of the TOBROCO-GIANT spare parts division in the market and give our dealers more opportunities to grow with us.”
