Distribution Center – New Bedford, Massachusetts
The New Bedford, MA facility overlooks the Acushnet River where it enters Buzzard's Bay and is a one-hour drive from Cape Cod. It occupies 70,000 square feet (6,500 m2) of a 450,000 square foot (41,800 m2) 1910 textile mill. Cornell Dubilier first converted the building to capacitor manufacturing in 1940, and during the early part of that decade employed over 4,000 personnel in support of the war effort. No longer a manufacturing facility, its primary function is customer support in the form of product and services.
Established in 1993 as the distribution center for Cornell Dubilier, the New Bedford facility stocks tens of thousands of part numbers for surface mount capacitors (mica, film, polymer and aluminum electrolytic), leaded capacitors (mica, film, tantalum, ceramic among others) as well as AC motor run, motor start and screw terminal electrolytic capacitors. New Bedford is certified to ISO-9001:2000 with customer support in the form of inside sales, marketing, design and application engineering. The facility also houses one of the premier life test labs in the U.S. for AC and DC capacitors.
