The new location will be run by <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Jim Bennett,<\/span> <span class=\"s2\">who joined the Brokk team in Canada as warehouse and logistics manager.<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> Bennett\u2019s <\/span><span class=\"s2\">responsibilities include managing product<\/span> <span class=\"s2\">and assisting customers and regional sales managers by providing parts support throughout Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The new 4,000-foot Canadian distribution facility will house the full line of demolition machines with attachments as well as Aquajet Hydrodemolition robots and parts inventory for both brands. The new center will also offer Brokk and Aquajet demonstrations. Canadian customers now have access to a in-country distribution center and no longer have to wait for equipment to go through customs from the United States.<\/span><span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cAdding a distribution center gets us closer to our Canadian customers and generally streamlines the ordering and shipping process,\u201d said Lars Lindgren, president of Brokk, Inc. \u201cWe\u2019re all excited to see what Jim will make of the facility and how it will help our customers in the Toronto area and beyond. He has a wealth of warehouse management experience and will closely monitor demand for Brokk and Aquajet products to ensure optimal stock.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">Bennett has more than 30 years of warehouse and logistics experience within the auto and construction sectors. He started working as a warehouse manager before working his way up to operations supervisor. His last two positions have been as a warehouse manager and warehouse supervisor before transitioning to his current role with Brokk.<\/span><span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cMy whole career has been customer driven, and that\u2019s what\u2019s so exciting about this role,\u201d Bennett said. \u201cMy vision aligns with <\/span><span class=\"s2\">Brokk\u2019s. The new facility will help meet our goal of providing Canadian customers with machines and parts from both Brokk and Aquajet.\u201d<\/span><span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">The Brokk Inc.
