PACCAR Parts is proud to announce the opening of two new parts distribution centers (PDCs) in Brisbane, Australia and Panama City, Panama. These facilities will increase parts availability, maximize uptime, and provide superior service to PACCAR customers in the respective markets.

The new PDC in Brisbane expands the Australia distribution network to two locations. Along with the Bayswater PDC, located 22 miles east of Melbourne, the addition of the Brisbane PDC will support increased dealer service levels across Australia.

The new Panama City PDC will elevate service levels across the Latin America markets. “We are setting new standards for product availability in the entire Latin America dealer network. The Panama City location will support PACCAR brands, such as DAF, Kenworth and all-makes TRP,” said Laura Bloch, assistant general manager – operations. “And by leveraging our closer proximity to the customer, we will increase productivity and customer uptime.”

The new locations in Brisbane and Panama City are a part of PACCAR Parts’ growing global parts distribution network, which now includes 18 PDCs worldwide.
