Haydon Corporation Reports Midwest Market Expansion Plans

Haydon Corporation, a renowned maker of building supplies, has announced intentions to open a new distribution center in Stow, Ohio.

During its Ohio Tax Credit Authority meeting in early August, the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) authorized the project for tax credit support.

This will be Haydon’s fourth distribution center in the United States, strategically located to better service the growing demand of customers in the Midwest.

“The opening of a Midwest facility marks an important milestone in our journey, as we continue to assess our geographic presence and optimize connectivity with customers across North America,” Chad Collins, CEO and President of Haydon Corporation, made the statement. “We are excited to partner with the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) to create additional job opportunities and have a positive economic impact for the state of Ohio. The addition of the Stow facility will allow us to better provide our customers with exceptional service by shortening lead times and increasing inventory options in the Midwest.”

The 254,000 square foot location, located at 4847 Gray Lane, will stock items such as strut, hardware, baseboard, and rooftop components.

“On behalf of everyone at Team NEO, our local partners, JobsOhio and the Ohio Department of Development, we welcome Haydon Corporation to the Northeast Ohio Region, a location that gives the company efficient access to their customers, as well as a talented workforce,” remarked Bill Koehler, Chief Executive Officer. “With the fourth largest interstate system in the country, the Northeast Ohio Region is an attractive destination for distribution facilities. It signals resilience and reduces risk long term, helping companies position for future growth.”

The brand-new facility will generate multiple jobs, helping to boost local employment and economic development. Site renovations will commence in the late summer of 2023, with operations slated to begin in early 2024.
