A Closer Look at John Deere’s $140 Million Parts Investment

Investing Where It Matters

While the project supports a global network, much of the recent momentum is taking place in the United States.

Mattoon, Illinois, was the first U.S. distribution center to fully operate on the modern systems. From there, the rollout expanded to Portland, Denver, Lathrop, and Atlanta. This May, the North American Parts Distribution Center in Milan, Illinois, begins its transition, reinforcing John Deere's long-term commitment to the Quad Cities and the people who work there every day.

"This work is about strengthening our parts network. We need more flexibility and resiliency at the core of our network," Ryan said. "By modernizing these facilities, we are making incredible progress towards this end to better support the service parts needs of our dealers and customers for years to come."

The same modern foundation will also support the future Hebron, Indiana, facility, creating a consistent and scalable parts network across the U.S.

Built for the People Who Keep Parts Moving

Modernization is about technology, but it is also about people.

"Our teams bring decades of knowledge into this work," Ryan said. "By pairing that experience with tools that help teams work smarter and with greater confidence, we are strengthening the way we operate across the parts network."
