President Peter Anderson said construction should be completed by April. The Jacksonville facility will be Dayton, Ohio-based Winsupply’s fifth regional distribution center. Its other McKenzie facilities are in Dayton, Denver, Middletown, Connecticut, and Richmond, Virginia. Winsupply said its operations include nearly 600 wholesaling locations in 45 states. “Having a distribution center in Jacksonville will lead to shorter delivery times to our local companies in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina,” WINSUPPLY, PAGE 2
