Supply Technologies Announces New Dayton Distribution Center to Support North American Customers

Key Terms

oems technical

OEMs, or Original Equipment Manufacturers, are companies that produce the main components or products that other companies use to build finished goods. For investors, OEMs are important because their performance can influence the supply chain, manufacturing costs, and overall market trends in industries like technology, automotive, and electronics. Their success often reflects broader economic health and consumer demand.

restricted stock units financial

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

senior secured notes financial

Senior secured notes are a type of loan that a company borrows by issuing bonds, which are like IOUs. They are called "secured" because the company promises to give lenders specific assets, like property or equipment, if it can't pay back the loan. This makes them safer for investors and often means the company pays lower interest rates.

Automation and Advanced Systems will allow Manufacturers to Build Better, Faster, and Cost Effectively

CLEVELAND, OHIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Supply Technologies LLC, a Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: PKOH) company, today announced plans to significantly expand its North American distribution network with a new state-of-the-art facility in Union, Ohio.

Supply Technologies, a leader in supply chain management of assembly components for global OEMs, is augmenting their network of over 70+ warehouses globally with a new 375,000-square-foot distribution center. The new facility will be their flagship location with advanced warehouse operations, quality and engineering lab and an innovation center. This facility will serve its customers and warehouses across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Once operational, the site will employ over 100 employees, creating upwards of 60 new full-time jobs, and contribute approximately $3 million in incremental annual payroll to the local area. Total capital investment will be in excess of $20 million.

“Throughout our history as a leader of innovation in manufacturing, we’ve built a network of specialized brands that work together to deliver highly engineered products, services and solutions to OEMs around the world,” said Matt Crawford, CEO of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. “This flagship location for Supply Technologies will be pivotal in helping us serve our customers faster, better and more efficiently.
