Jasper Engines & Transmissions is in the process of relocating its Jasper Innovative Solutions (JIS) warehouse operations to the Crawford County, Indiana, facility. JIS is a sister company to JASPER, and a supplier of vehicle parts to the United States Postal Service Vehicle Maintenance Facilities (VMF’s). The JIS warehouse is making the move from Willow Grove, Pennsylavania, while the JIS Customer Service and Sales Staff will remain in Bristol, Pennsylavania.
JIS spent a couple of months looking at other warehouses in the Philadelphia area, and all would have precipitated some sort of move. “We looked at getting closer to JASPER’s Hub to allow faster delivery to areas in the South and West,” says JIS General Manager Luke Bawel. “Due to Lean Management and JPS improvements at the Jasper, Indiana, and Willow Springs, Missouri, facilities, they have been able to free up 40,000 square feet at the Crawford Facility for our needs.”
With JIS relocating to the Crawford Facility, all VMFs in the Western and Southern United States will benefit by having delivery one day earlier. All East Coast and Midwest VMFs will keep their same delivery times. The larger space accommodated by the Crawford facility allows for much greater availability, both in breadth and depth of parts, including drive line, chassis and body parts for the ever-growing USPS fleet.
“We have a great team out here and they have been a true joy to work alongside over the past eight months,” added Bawel. “You couldn’t ask for a better group of people to make you feel at home in a new city.”
