Makita U.S.A. Inc.<\/a>, La Mirada, California, expanded its distribution, training and service capabilities with a new 600,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility in Reno, Nevada. It increases Makita\u2019s operational ability to meet growing market demand with nationwide two-day ground coverage, so customers receive products faster.<\/p>\n

\u201cMakita is focused on leading innovation and engineering, as well as training and after-sales service,\u201d says Joe Blackwell, vice president operations. \u201cThese are cornerstones that go back to the earliest days of the company, and the addition of the new Reno facility is focused on fulfilling these promises. Makita is looking forward and we are committed to serving our valued customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new Reno facility, a $50 million investment, is the company\u2019s fifth in the U.S. and follows the recent opening of a similar facility in the Dallas region. Makita recently opened Reno with a soft launch and will be fully online this fall. The Reno facility is located on nearly 50 acres of land with 600,000 square feet of warehouse space fully equipped with operational capabilities.<\/p>\n

The new facility also includes a detached 28,000-square-foot state-of-the-art training center. It is Makita\u2019s fourth in the U.S. and will offer tailored curriculum and hands-on training. Makita trainers can utilize adjacent outdoor space equipped with infrastructure to run Makita\u2019s expanding line of outdoor power equipment.<\/p>\n

For dealer partners, training will focus on increasing their knowledge of Makita\u2019s leading technologies and empowering them to match a solution to their customers. For professional users, the focus is application-driven with instruction showing the right accessories and the right tools for the job with an emphasis on proper use for increased productivity and profitability.<\/p>\n

A new factory service center is targeted to open in late fall 2020. It will be the latest addition to Makita\u2019s national service network and will be four-times larger in square footage than any other Makita Service Center in the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new facility addresses increasing demand that we\u2019re seeing across all product categories including construction, cordless outdoor power equipment, automotive and janitorial-sanitation,\u201d says Blackwell. \u201cBut even during construction in Reno we were still looking forward. The open space adjacent to the building is shovel-ready for planned future expansion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
