Winsupply to open new OKC regional distribution center
Winsupply Inc. announced plans to open a new regional distribution center in Oklahoma City in 2022.
Winsupply will own the 318,000 square foot center which is under construction alongside I-35. The distribution center is being constructed by Brinkmann Constructors and sits on 40 acres at 9440 S. I-35 Service Road.
According to Winsupply vice president of Supply Chain, Eric Roush, the distribution center will become Winsupply’s sixth major regional distribution center (RDC), joining Winsupply RDCs in Dayton, Ohio; Denver; Middletown, Connecticut; Richmond, Virginia; and Jacksonville, Florida.
Bobby Kellar, current operations manager of the Jacksonville DC, will become the general manager of the Oklahoma City DC.
“Our sixth DC will allow us to serve our local companies in the south-central part of the U.S. with one-day service,” Roush said. When completed the new DC will provide primary service to about 80 local companies in Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.
Winsupply is a more than $4 billion wholesaler-distributor of plumbing, industrial pipe, valves and fittings, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, electrical, waterworks and other supplies to contractors in 45 states. The company plans to begin operations from the Winsupply RDC in the first half of 2022.
