Supply Technologies LLC, a subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp (NASDAQ: PKOH), has announced plans to substantially expand its North American distribution footprint with the development of a new, state-of-the-art facility in Union, Ohio. The investment marks a major step in strengthening the company’s ability to support global OEM customers with faster, more resilient, and technology-driven supply chain solutions.

The new site will span approximately 375,000 square feet and will serve as Supply Technologies’ flagship distribution center. Designed to support customers and warehouse operations across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the facility will feature advanced warehouse operations, an integrated quality and engineering laboratory, and a dedicated innovation center. The expansion will add to the company’s existing global network of more than 70 warehouses.

Once fully operational, the Union facility is expected to employ more than 100 people, creating over 60 new full-time positions and generating an estimated $3 million in additional annual payroll for the local economy. Total capital investment in the project is expected to exceed $20 million.

Matt Crawford, Chief Executive Officer of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp, said the new facility will play a critical role in supporting customers who rely on Supply Technologies to keep their manufacturing operations running without interruption. He noted that the flagship location will enhance speed, efficiency, and continuity across the supply chain, directly supporting uptime for OEM partners.

Brian Norris, President of Supply Technologies, said the new distribution center will enable a more efficient hub-and-spoke model for North America. He added that the facility will incorporate robotic automation, advanced warehouse management systems, and best-in-class equipment within the quality and engineering lab, allowing the company to deliver even higher levels of service and reliability to customers.

Recruitment for the Union facility is expected to begin in early 2026, with the official opening targeted for July 1, 2026. Employment opportunities will be posted on the company’s LinkedIn careers page. The project is being supported by the Dayton Development Coalition, JobsOhio, and the City of Union, highlighting the region’s focus on attracting advanced manufacturing and logistics investments.

Julie Sullivan, Executive Vice President of Regional Development at the Dayton Development Coalition, said the expansion will capitalize on Ohio’s strong logistics infrastructure and skilled workforce, helping streamline distribution across North America. Supply Technologies said it looks forward to joining the local business community and leveraging the advanced capabilities of the new facility to better serve OEM customers throughout the region.
