Dayton Parts has opened a new 90,000 sq.-ft. distribution center in Las Vegas, Nevada the company announced.

The distribution center, located at 3101 Marion Drive, will stock the complete portfolio of Dayton Parts products for customers located in Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, according to the company. Customers will be transitioned from their current distribution center in phases over the next several months.

“The new center will shorten lead times and offer increased flexibility in ordering to ensure the product reaches the end user when and where they need it,” said Sam Stantial, vice president of Sales for Dayton Parts.

ABB is collaborating with Lhyfe, a producer of renewable hydrogen, and Skyborn, a provider of renewable energy, to jointly work on SoutH2Port, a large-scale Swedish renewable hydrogen project.

The project, according to the companies, is to be located in close proximity to Skyborns’ 1 GW offshore wind farm Storgrundet in Söderhamn, Sweden, where Skyborn and Lhyfe recently entered a sales purchase agreement with Stora Enso for an industry property. When fully operational, SoutH2port is expected to produce about 240 tons of hydrogen per day, with an installed capacity of 600 MW, making it one of the largest suppliers of renewable hydrogen in Europe, the recent press release notes.
