Meyer Distributing Announces Covington Cross-Dock

Meyer Distributing Inc. announces the addition of its Covington, Louisiana, cross-dock. The cross-dock will have a direct feed from Meyer’s Arlington, Texas, distribution hub, which houses one of the largest inventories of automotive accessories, crash and collision, 4×4/off-road and RV parts in the region, officials say.

Meyer has expanded inventories significantly in crash and collision parts in the last year,” states Rick Stenftenagel, Meyer’s Crash and Collision Category sales manager. “We are adding customers throughout this region at a fast clip as they look for alternate sources for hard-to-find products and volume movers alike.”

“The Covington, Louisiana, dock will significantly improve deliveries to a stretch of I-10 we’ve always struggled a bit to get to logistically,” states Jeff Braun, CEO of Meyer. “We’re now well-positioned to provide top-notch delivery service and frequency to the customer base. Meyer continues to invest organically and via acquisitions to bring the best brands to market for our customers. Any wholesale-only distribution company that might be interested in entertaining an offer should reach out to acquisitions@meyerdistributing.com.”
