Australian truck and trailer parts supplier MaxiPARTS has announced the opening of its retail outlet in Mackay. MaxiPARTS was launched in May as parent company, MaxiTRANS, made the announcement that it was combining its three parts chains (then known as Colrain, Queensland Diesel Spares and Gladstone Air Cleaner Services) to form the new entity in an attempt to provide customers with easier access nationwide to its range of truck and trailer parts.
With the new store due to be open for business November 4th 2013, MaxiPARTS General Manager Peter Loimaranta identified the reason for the expansion, “Mackay is a key supply point for a majority of Central Queensland,” he said. “It has significant transport, agricultural and mining markets which all require local access to products such as our range of truck and trailer parts, tools and accessories.”
“We have found a suitable site in Central Park Drive Paget, the industrial centre of Mackay,” he continued. “It has over 820m2 of showroom and warehousing space, meaning we will be able to carry sufficient stock to fill the requirements of the busy Mackay industry.”
Branch manager Robert Hargreaves brings with him a wealth of experience with 30 years in spare parts sales covering almost all fields including trucking, industrial, mining, automotive and auto electrical industries. “With new modern facilities and the experience of our staff we are well positioned to service our customers every need in a diverse range of industries”, Robert proclaimed.
Loimaranta went on to explain that Mackay’s unique requirements meant that the new store will stock more than just truck and trailer parts, but also a large range of tools and accessories in order to provide greater assistance to the sector. “To meet the market’s needs, we have made a significant investment in inventory across a very diverse group of products, making MaxiPARTS a one stop shop for anyone in Mackay,” he said. “So whether our customers are after a car fridge, tool kit, LED light, tyres or axles and suspensions, they will be able to find it at the new store.” “It is exciting to be focusing on expanding MaxiPARTS and we certainly intend this expansion to be the start not the end of the process,” he said, in a hint that there may be similar announcements soon to come from the growing parts chain.
