Maersk’s New Phoenix Distribution Center serves American Honda’s powersports and products division
A.P. Moller – Maersk, a global leader in logistics services, announced the opening of a new 150,000 square foot distribution center in Phoenix, Arizona. The facility will support American Honda’s Powersports and Products division, strengthening the company’s ability to serve its regional dealer network in the Southwestern United States. The facility will provide warehousing and distribution services for a wide range of recreational, utility, and outdoor equipment.
Phoenix offers us excellent proximity to our dealer network, which enhances our ability to serve customers more efficiently. Maersk’s deep knowledge of our business and rapid execution in establishing the new location has helped us drive forward on key aspects of our regional business strategy.
We are privileged to support Honda’s growth in an expanding market. Our distribution centers are a key node in the global chain of services we are able to provide to Honda, from ocean shipping and landside transportation to contract logistics. We look forward to honoring the relationship we have built over the years through reliable execution of services and delivering exceptional value, day in and day out, for years to come.
The Maersk Contract Logistics Team activated operations at the Phoenix site within just 90 days of the December 2023 contract award. The fast activation included locating the facility, finalizing the lease, and taking delivery of initial stock. The facility commenced operations in March 2024. The distribution center staff provides a range of value-added services including coordination of distribution to Honda’s regional dealer network, return management, light assembly, and quality control.
The Phoenix distribution center is Maersk’s third facility actively supporting Honda’s needs. In 2011, Maersk established facilities in Shreveport, LA, followed by Kansas City, MO, in 2020.
