Winsupply opens new
heating and air wholesale distributor in Kansas City, Mo.
Winsupply Inc., one of the largest distributors in the nation, has
opened a new Winsupply company in Kansas City, Missouri. Winsupply
of Kansas City, Mo., will provide sheet metal supplies, and heating,
ventilation and cooling (HVAC) equipment to contractors throughout
the region.
Michael Crane, a 30-year veteran of the HVAC industry, is president
of the company. Crane and his team of five employees have more than
100 years of combined experience in sheet metal ducting and venting,
and HVAC equipment to meet their customers’ needs. John Hicks is
general manager and, like Crane, has more than 30 years experience
in HVAC. The third member of the ownership team is Michael Snyder
with 20 years of industry experience. Crane, Hicks and Snyder are
equity investors in Winsupply of Kansas City to take advantage of
Winsupply’s co-ownership business model.
“Mike Crane leads perhaps one of the most experienced teams we’ve
ever had in launching a new company,” said Roland Gordon, president
and chief executive officer at Winsupply Inc. “Mike and John Hicks
established their industry expertise as factory reps prior to
joining Winsupply. Mike Snyder produced an air filter for the HVAC
industry in his prior work life. The three decided to invest in a
new Winsupply location in North Kansas City that is underserved by a
sheet metal distributor. They will be able to provide a one-stop
solution for contractors needing both sheet metal ductwork supplies
as well as air conditioning and heating equipment.
