Brokk’s recently opened Hamilton, Ont., Canada distribution center marks an expansion of its 30-year-old network in the country. Canadian customers now have access to an in-country distribution center and no longer have to wait for equipment to go through customs from the U.S.
The new 4,000-ft2 (371m2) 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.
The new location will be run by Jim Bennett, who recently joined the Brokk team in Canada. As warehouse and logistics manager. Bennett will assist customers and regional sales managers by providing parts support throughout Canada.
Bennett has more than 30 years of warehouse and logistics experience within the auto and construction sectors. His last two positions have been as a warehouse manager and warehouse supervisor before transitioning to his current role with Brokk.
“My whole career has been customer driven, and that’s what’s so exciting about this role,” Bennett says. “My vision aligns with Brokk’s. The new facility will help meet our goal of providing Canadian customers with machines and parts from both Brokk and Aquajet.”
