In order to further upgrade the logistics structure in Latin America, SKF has opened a regional distribution center in Montevideo, Uruguay. This center joins the global network of regional distribution centers that SKF has in North America, Europe and Asia.

“The opening of the regional distribution center in Uruguay reinforces our commitment to this fast-growing region for the SKF Group,” says SKF President and CEO Tom Johnstone.

The distribution center started operation on July 4, 2011, and represents an investment of around $2.4 million.
