CNH Opens New Office Space,
Introduces Port Partner
D
uring a recent ceremony held at the Dundalk Marine
Terminal, global agriculture and construction
equipment manufacturer CNH celebrated the grand
opening of its newly designed Baltimore Campus and
introduced Tennant Yard Management (TYM) as its port
partner.
CNH, which uses the Port of Baltimore for both import and
export operations, has reconfigured the company’s leased space
at Dundalk Lots 90/100 by adding portable office space that
houses an employee training center/lunch room, a customer
service/IT office, an employee medical center, a locker room, a
parts room and guest offices.
Additionally, CNH has joined the company’s two office
facilities with a nicely designed deck that promotes the campus
feel, and has created a new employee and visitor parking lot
that is segregated from all machine-handling spaces. CNH is
also considering placing a Rubb structure at the facility at a
later date to serve as an accessory and mechanical shop.
“In speaking with several employees, all seem very pleased
with the efforts made by CNH,” said Steve Jarczynski, Maryland
Port Administration (MPA) Trade Development for roll-on/roll-off
and project cargo.
Jarczysnki added, “CNH is part of the Agricultural and
Construction Equipment Division of the Fiat Group and is one
of the Port of Baltimore’s most loyal and largest customers. It is
also the only OEM that leases property directly from the MPA.”
After securing the contract for the processing of CNH
equipment at the Dundalk terminal, TYM began operations
on September 1. During the first month, TYM was not only
instrumental in assisting with the redesign of the facility
but also implementing new processing software on the TYM
Systems platform. The wireless communications allow for highly
efficient tracking of CNH equipment as it moves through each
stage of processing from arrival on the terminal right on through
to final delivery to the carrier.
