Pirelli Opens New Canadian Distribution Warehouse

Pirelli Tire Inc has opened a second warehouse distribution centre. The new facility is located in Vancouver, British Columbia, and the company reports that it is “dedicated to servicing customers in western Canada.” Pirelli has appointed Schenker Distribution to manage the operations effective immediately.

Despite widely publicised tribulations in the automotive sector, Pirelli’s continuing growth in Canada makes capacity expansion necessary at this time, Marco Zambianchi, vice-president & general manager of Pirelli Canada, explained: “As our brand continues to grow, this addition will ensure that our dealers can fully satisfy consumer demand in a timely fashion.” Pival International Inc. remains the company’s primary distribution centre in eastern Canada.
