Mike Barton, CEO of Keidel, and John Robinson, executive vice president of Keidel, have established a remarkable team of service providers. Winsupply is delighted to collaborate with Keidel and continue providing exceptional service to contractors in the greater Cincinnati region.”

“Three generations of the Keidel family and many dedicated team members have worked hard as an independent distributor to grow our business and provide extraordinary service to the Greater Cincinnati market,” said Barton. “As we move to the next phase for the Keidel Supply Company, all the Keidel associates are looking forward to joining the Winsupply family, growing our market share, and continuing to offer exceptional service to our residential trade, commercial trade, and showroom customers for years to come.”

Barton plans to continue in his role as president at Keidel.
