The Winsupply Family of Companies is expanding its footprint in Central Ohio with the official opening of a new Local Company.

Columbus Windustrial opened its doors Oct. 19, 2026, with a 14,400-square-foot facility at 209 Green Meadows Drive in Lewis Center, to serve the area’s growing commercial and industrial pipe, valves, and fittings (PVF) market.

The Local Company is led by President/Owner Chris Mulholland and a team of five.

The launch aligns with the rapid economic expansion of Columbus, Ohio, which continues to attract new business developments in medical, pharmaceutical, education, data centers, and manufacturing. The local Winsupply team enters the market well-positioned to meet the region’s increasing infrastructure and supply demands.

“Columbus continues to be one of the fastest-growing cities in America, and we are fortunate to have such a diverse industry base driving that growth trajectory,” Mulholland said.

Mulholland plans to expand his business as additional team members complete the onboarding process. A formal grand opening event in 2027 will introduce the new facility and team to the local business community.

Mulholland joined Winsupply in February of 2025 after a 17-year career as a manufacturer’s representative in the commercial kitchen sector. He kept hearing about Winsupply from friends in the industry for at least five years before deciding to take the chance.

“I was always curious and wanted to run my own business, but there were things I didn’t know and back-end resources I didn’t have,” Mulholland said. “That’s what drew me to the Winsupply model is the behind-the-scenes resources to help entrepreneurs navigate the things they are not as familiar with,” including accounting, systems and processes, and quoting software.

After many conversations with Winsupply Inc. Area Leader Andrew Wademan and other Local Company Presidents in the Dayton and Columbus, Ohio, markets, Mulholland’s confidence in the model grew.

“The Winsupply model gives people with drive and determination a real opportunity to live the American dream,” Mulholland said. “It’s built for people willing to sweat for their success. The model gives you the tools, but your growth comes down to sheer grit.”

Columbus Windustrial was sponsored by Brad Williams, President, Dayton Windustrial, and Jason Seelman, President, Winsupply of NE Columbus.

“From day one, Chris came to Winsupply with the goal of starting his own business,” Wademan said. “He jumped in head first, listening to his mentors, business partners, friends, and customers to get Columbus Windustrial off the ground. Chris has proven to have rare grit that is hard to find.”
