Northeast Stihl Grand Opening
Though it was completed in October 2016, Stihl Inc. officials recently held a grand opening celebration for the new Northeast Stihl location in Oxford, Conn. to highlight the new 110,000 sq. ft. facility and demonstrate the company’s continued investment to improve overall operations and support dealer growth in the Northeast U.S. Noting that Stihl has more than 9,000 independent servicing dealers across the country, “It’s critical that we provide them with superior service and support,” said Stihl Inc. Vice President of Sales & Marketing Nick Jiannas, who attended the ceremony. “The new facility in Oxford is just one example of the kinds of investments we are making at Stihl Inc. to strengthen our distribution infrastructure.”
In January 2015 Stihl Inc. announced Northeast Stihl’s relocation from Shelton, Conn. to Oxford, which was selected for its access to the I-84 and I-95 delivery corridors. In addition, the facility is designed to enhance dealer support and responsiveness and features efficient racking and storage systems, improved pick and pack processes that reduce errors and increase productivity and 13 loading doors to handle inbound-outbound freight. As a result, Northeast Stihl will be able to provide one- to two-day shipping service to most servicing dealers in the region. Additionally, Northeast Stihl can now host enhanced training and technical services events in a new indoor/outdoor training facility and state-of-the-art workshop. The new facility occupies 20 acres and employs roughly 56 employees. Northeast Stihl serves dealers in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
