Winsupply of East Jacksonville opened its doors on February 1, 2026. Located in the heart of Jacksonville at 3251 Newell Blvd., the Local Company includes a 16,250-square-foot facility with a large pipe yard.

Klein began with Winsupply in October of 2025, intending to be an owner of a Local Company after learning about its unique business model. 

"Being able to bet on yourself with Winsupply's support while also having the autonomy to make your own decisions is what makes the Winsupply model so appealing," Klein said. "You don't have people disengaged from your business telling you how to operate."

Klein has served in various roles throughout his time working in the industry, including counter sales, outside sales and management positions.

His family has worked in the fire protection industry for decades, with over 100 years of combined experience.

Having served in several customer-facing roles, Klein understands the expectations of the new company's customer base.

"I treat each customer and order with the utmost importance," Klein said. 

Winsupply currently has five other Local Companies and a Regional Distribution Center in Jacksonville, Florida. However, Winsupply of East Jacksonville is the only distributor of Victaulic and Spears Manufacturing products for the fire protection industry, aligning them with trusted vendors.

"We already have a strong presence in Jacksonville in the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC industries. A fire sprinkler location is a great addition," said Steve Lyon, Winsupply Area Leader. "We are aiming to grow the fire fabrication industry, which is a perfect next step." 

Winsupply of East Jacksonville was sponsored by Taylor Johnson, President, Atlanta Winsupply; Peter Cimino, President, West Coast Winsupply; and Thomas Blackburn, President, Winsupply of Jacksonville Beach.

Winsupply Local Companies are poised to exceed over $8.4 billion in annual sales for 2026.
