East Manufacturing, manufacturer of aluminum flatbed, drop deck, dump and refuse trailers as well as aluminum truck bodies and steel dump trailers, has opened its new East aftermarket parts facility, headquartered in Kent, Ohio. It will provide all East trailer parts as well as aftermarket parts and accessories.

The facility will house cross-trained sales personnel with a warehouse based on usage, turns and demand. This means easy and more efficient fill rates through more analytics and frequent reviews of SKUs, stock levels and inventory turns, the company claims. It will also carry common parts for all makes and all models, such as air bags, lights, wheel-ends and more.

An expanded showroom will have display areas for smaller common parts, impulse-buy items and East apparel.

“We are excited to be able to increase the available inventory to our customers and improve our level of service,” said Steve King, director of aftermarket parts sales at East.

“We know how important uptime is for our customers and we are committed to helping them acquire the parts they need,” added Tom Wiseman, president.
