Maxam opens distribution, training center in California

RANCHO DOMINQUEZ, Calif. — Maxam Tire North America Inc. has opened a West Coast Distribution and Product Training Center in Rancho Dominquez.

The 120,000 sq.-ft. facility triples the capacity of Maxam's existing West Coast location and increases the tire maker's overall distribution footprint in the U.S. to more than 300,000 square feet.

Maxam said the facility will supply the complete range of Maxam products, including its flagship Maxam Giant OTR, which ranges from 49-inch to 63-inch bead diameter, as well as its solid OTR lineup.

"With the continued growth of Maxam Tire in the U.S. market and the release of eight new product lines this coming year, we needed to address our distribution platform capabilities, starting on the West Coast," said Jimmy McDonnell, vice president sales and marketing for Maxam Tire North America.

Maxam said the state-of-the-art warehouse features an advanced management system that increases accuracy, capacity and efficiency.

Maxam also operates a distribution warehouse in Memphis.
