Winsupply Acquires Kansas-based Industrial Sales Co.
Dayton, Ohio - (May 7, 2025) – Winsupply Inc., one of the nation’s largest wholesale distributors, has acquired Industrial Sales Co.
Industrial Sales, located in Olathe, Kansas, specializes in landscape and utility wholesale distribution throughout the Midwest. Its products include those for landscape, water, gas, telecommunications, geothermal, and equipment.
Founded in 1973, Industrial Sales began as a provider of drainage pipes and fittings for residential and commercial contractors in Greater Kansas City. Over time, additional product lines were added, including PVC pipes and fittings, water and sewer, accessories for the gas distribution industry, and irrigation equipment.
“Industrial Sales has been presented with an exceptional opportunity to join the Winsupply organization that I passionately believe represents their commitment to continuing the legacy of Industrial Sales,” said Jake Cooper, President, Industrial Sales.
Industrial Sales follows a specialized “Service Plus” model for its sales and support staff in two main divisions – Utility Division and Landscape Division.
“The distribution and company structure of Winsupply will provide an opportunity to not only sustain both the Landscape and Utility Divisions, but will be advantageous for all who support the new company,” Cooper said. “This objective has been met by their ability to develop and manage an extremely successful family of companies and their continued accomplishments in growth and longevity within the distribution industry.”
The company also has a second location in Omaha, Nebraska.
“Our business models aligned in several areas, including a strong customer focus backed by a team of creative problem solvers with an entrepreneurial mindset,” said Jeff Dice, President, Winsupply Inc. “Winsupply continues to be acquisitive, both strategic and opportunistic, with a focus on creating entrepreneurs.”
This is Winsupply’s first acquisition of this year. It complements the company’s decades-long growth strategy, which includes both strategic acquisitions as well as starting new Local Companies. Since the beginning of 2024, Winsupply has added over 20 new Local Companies to its footprint.
