Why This Matters to Distributors: Winsupply has acquired another facility next to its Dayton distribution center as the $8.4 billion distributor moves ahead with one of the largest expansions of its distribution infrastructure in company history.
Winsupply has acquired a 48,000 square foot facility next to its Dayton, Ohio, distribution center as the distributor moves ahead with a 1.6 million square foot expansion of its national distribution network.
The company said Sept. 3 that it closed this week on the purchase of the former Planes Moving & Storage facility at 9370 Byers Road in Miami Township. The building sits next to Winsupply’s existing distribution center, where the company is adding approximately 200,000 square feet.
Winsupply said the newly acquired building is intended for future use. The company did not disclose the purchase price or provide details on how the facility ultimately will be used.
The acquisition comes as Winsupply advances a broader distribution expansion announced in March. The company plans to add 1.6 million square feet of capacity over two years through projects in Ohio, Oklahoma and Georgia.
The largest is a 1.17 million square foot distribution center Winsupply purchased in Atlanta. The facility will become the company’s eighth distribution center.
Winsupply also is adding 254,000 square feet to its existing Oklahoma City distribution center and approximately 200,000 square feet to its Dayton operation.
The Dayton expansion is expected to be the last of the three major projects completed, with work scheduled to finish around fall 2027.
“The additional space in Dayton will enable Winsupply to increase our product breadth and depth and provide the products to Local Companies so they can serve their customers,” Winsupply president Jeff Dice said.
Winsupply said the Dayton project has required extensive site preparation, with more than 20,000 truckloads of dirt removed as of June.
The company has positioned the three distribution projects as a way to increase product availability and inventory depth across its network of more than 680 locally operated wholesale companies.
Winsupply Inc. holds majority equity stakes in those businesses, known as Winsupply Local Companies. They distribute construction and industrial products across markets including plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, electrical, waterworks, pipes, valves and fittings, pumps and maintenance, repair and operations.
The additional distribution capacity is designed to give those local businesses access to broader product assortments and deeper inventory while centralizing more of the infrastructure required to support their growth.
Winsupply described the 1.6 million square foot program in March as one of the most significant periods of infrastructure growth in the company’s history.
The company reported $8.4 billion in sales for the fiscal year ended Jan. 31, 2026, which Winsupply described in April as a record fiscal year. The Winsupply family of companies employs more than 9,500 people nationwide.
The latest property purchase extends Winsupply’s investment around its Dayton distribution operation while the larger network expansion moves forward. In Dayton alone, the company is adding approximately 200,000 square feet to its existing distribution center and now has another 48,000 square foot building available for future use.
For distributors, the broader investment illustrates how Winsupply is putting more warehouse capacity behind its decentralized wholesale model. Rather than changing the local ownership structure at the center of its business, the company is expanding the distribution infrastructure those businesses can use to increase product availability and assortment as they grow.
