Kimball Midwest, a national industrial supplier based in Columbus, Ohio, has begun operations at its new distribution center at 14 Prospect Drive, Newtown, just months before the company reaches its centennial.

The 142,000-square-foot facility, which the company acquired in 2021 before undertaking an extensive remodeling process, will allow for enhanced service to thousands of customers across the northeastern United States.

“We appreciate all the hard work contributed by so many people to get our new distribution center up and running,” Kimball Midwest President Patrick McCurdy III said. “We already have an extensive list of customers in the region, and this location will allow us to better serve our existing customers as well as new ones in the future.”

Newtown is the smallest community to host a Kimball Midwest distribution center, but its strategic location made it the right choice for the next step in the company’s growth.

“We’re grateful to have found such an ideal location in Newtown,” McCurdy said. “We appreciate the welcome we’ve received from the community and look forward to partnering with them for many years to come.”

Kimball Midwest primarily serves its customers through a network of more than 1,200 sales representatives across the continental United States. It recently was listed as the 30th largest industrial supply company in the nation by Industrial Distribution. In the last year, it has been honored among the 50 Best Companies to Sell For by Selling Power magazine and received Training magazine’s Training APEX Award.

Kimball Midwest is a family-owned national distributor of maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) products that has been providing superior products and service since 1923. The company services sales representatives and end-use customers from its corporate office and distribution center in Columbus, Ohio, and distribution centers strategically located in Dallas, Texas; Newtown; Reno, Nev; and Savannah, Ga.
