Winsupply has acquired a 48,000-square-foot warehouse next to its expanding Dayton-area distribution operation, giving the wholesaler additional property alongside a 200,000-square-foot distribution-center project already under construction.
The newly purchased building is the former Planes Moving & Storage facility at 9370 Byers Road in Miami Township, Ohio.
Winsupply has described the property as being intended for future use but has not said what function it will ultimately perform.
That distinction makes the acquisition more significant as a strategic addition to the company’s logistics real estate than as immediately available distribution capacity.
Winsupply’s existing distribution center is at 9300 Byers Road. The company is adding approximately 200,000 square feet there as part of a wider expansion of its national distribution network.
Site preparation is well underway.
Winsupply said more than 20,000 truckloads of dirt had been removed from the Dayton expansion site, with the newly acquired Planes building located on the opposite side of the project area.
The purchase extends Winsupply’s control of property around an operation it was already planning to substantially enlarge.
Independent local reporting in 2025 described the approximately 200,000-square-foot project as effectively doubling the size of the existing Dayton distribution center at that stage of the plan.
The subsequent acquisition gives Winsupply another 48,000-square-foot building immediately alongside that expansion, although the company has not said whether it will ultimately be converted into warehouse or distribution space.
No purchase price, refurbishment budget or occupancy timetable has been disclosed.
The Dayton investment is one part of a much larger distribution build-out.
In March, Winsupply announced plans to add approximately 1.6 million square feet of distribution capacity over two years through projects in Ohio, Oklahoma and Georgia.
The largest component is in Atlanta, where the company acquired a 1.17-million-square-foot distribution center.
Winsupply says that building will become its eighth distribution center.
In Oklahoma City, the company is adding 254,000 square feet to an existing distribution facility.
Dayton accounted for approximately 200,000 square feet of the three-project program announced in March.
The newly acquired 48,000-square-foot building was not part of that original calculation and should be viewed as an additional real-estate move rather than automatically added to Winsupply’s formally announced 1.6-million-square-foot capacity figure.
Together, the projects are expanding the physical distribution infrastructure behind a wholesale network that Winsupply says includes more than 680 locally operated companies across the United States.
Those businesses serve construction and industrial markets spanning plumbing, HVAC and refrigeration, electrical, waterworks, pipe, valves and fittings, pumps, irrigation and other product categories.
Winsupply President Jeff Dice said additional distribution capacity is intended to increase the breadth and depth of products available to those Local Companies.
The company has not quantified how the expansion will affect inventory levels, order throughput or delivery times.
It has also provided no warehouse-automation specification for the Dayton project.
Earlier Winsupply announcements have discussed the use of emerging technologies and artificial intelligence across its business, but no ASRS, robotics, conveyors, automated forklifts or specific warehouse software have been identified for either the 200,000-square-foot expansion or the acquired Planes property.
The Dayton project should therefore be treated as a distribution-capacity and real-estate expansion rather than an automation development on the information currently available.
The latest purchase adds another step to a project that has been building for almost a year.
Winsupply disclosed plans in November 2025 to approximately double its existing Dayton distribution center with another 200,000-square-foot building.
It incorporated that project into the wider 1.6-million-square-foot network expansion announced in March 2026.
Now, while construction proceeds, the company has acquired an existing neighboring warehouse for future use.
That sequence matters more than the size of the acquisition alone.
A 48,000-square-foot building is relatively small beside Winsupply’s 1.17-million-square-foot Atlanta purchase. In Dayton, however, it gives the company additional property immediately adjacent to a distribution operation where substantial new capacity is already being built.
How Winsupply ultimately uses that building remains unresolved.
The company has not disclosed whether it will hold inventory, support fulfillment, provide overflow storage, house offices or perform another function. Nor has it announced any conversion work, additional employment or material-handling equipment.
Those details will determine how much operational capacity the acquisition ultimately contributes.
For now, the purchase expands Winsupply’s physical position around its Dayton distribution operation while the company makes substantially larger warehouse investments across its national network.
