Columbus, OH-based OTC Industrial has combined two of its business units — Air Supply, and Industrial, Automation and Finishing — into a 23,000-square-foot office, warehouse and service and repair center just outside of Cleveland.

On March 26 from 3 to 5 pm ET, the company will hold a grand opening there at 26400 Broadway Ave., Ste. B in Bedford, OH for customers, vendors, local leaders and businesses.

OTC is a distributor of products within industrial motion control, factory automation, fluid power, pumping systems, spray finishing, power transmission and compressed air systems.

OTC — No. 6 on MDM’s 2023 List of Top Power Transmission/Bearings Distributors — said the new Cleveland branch focuses on industrial compressed air, automation, finishing, dispensing and filtration products and services.

“We’ve provided air compressors, equipment services and preventative maintenance for customers throughout the Midwest for more than 45 years. The longevity of our relationships says a lot about our technical expertise and superior customer service,” OTC Air Supply President Adam Gibbssaid in a news release. “Our new service center is centrally located and stocks many common repair parts — combined with our onsite repair capabilities, we can respond quickly to customers.”

OTC’s Industrial, Automation, and Finishing business focuses on providing efficient and cost-effective solutions for finishing, filtration and dispensing needs within the manufacturing production process. 

“We have listened to the feedback of our customers in Ohio and are thrilled to announce that we have established local finishing and filter inventory and repair capabilities in Cleveland,” added Bob Wilson, President of OTC’s Industrial, Automation, and Finishing Group. “Our new site will enable our dedicated team to collaborate more effectively with our vendor partners and serve these important customers with even more care and compassion.”

The new Cleveland branch follows the opening of several new OTC facilities during 2023, including a new distribution center in Cincinnati, and new branches in the Cedar Rapids, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Las Vegas areas.
