FINDLAY, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Cooper Tire & Rubber Company announced the opening of its Whiteland, Indiana regional distribution center. Located at 2400 Whiteland Rd., the newly opened 1 million-square-foot facility will provide Cooper with additional capacity for product storage and a modern design for optimizing operations.

“As we strive to meet customer needs and continue providing outstanding customer service, this new, larger distribution center positions Cooper to navigate logistic requirements faster and more efficiently,” said Mike Calabro, Executive Director – North America Supply Chain for Cooper. “We are also pleased the workforce from our former distribution center in Franklin, Ind. has transitioned with us to this new location.”
