Columbus, Ohio-based industrial distributor Kimball Midwest announced Nov. 21 the opening of its new distribution center in Newtown, Connecticut. Kimball ranked as the No. 11 Fastener Distributor, No. 17 MRO Industrial Distributor and No. 37 Industrial Distributor in MDM’s 2022 Top Distributor list.

Kimball acquired the 142,000-square-foot facility, which underwent an extensive remodeling process prior to opening, in 2021.

“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.”

The company chose Newtown, — the smallest community to host a Kimball distribution center — for its strategic location, according to a news release.

“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.”
