Online plumbing company will invest $19 million in new Georgia facility, create 330 jobs

SupplyHouse, an online plumbing, HVAC and electrical supplies distributor, will invest roughly $19 million to establish a new logistics facility in Georgia, creating 330 jobs.

Gov. Brian Kemp made the announcement this morning, saying the facility was planned for Locust Grove.

Once built, the new distribution center is expected to expand the company’s distribution footprint across the Southeast, serving online customers throughout the region.

The company will build a 715,000-square-foot fulfillment center featuring 35,000 square feet of office space at 3090 Highway 42.

State and local officials said the location along Interstate 75 provides access to key regional markets and connects with metro Atlanta’s air, rail, road and port transportation networks.

The new fulfillment center will hire workers across multiple departments. Available roles will include management, administrative support, technical positions, operators, maintenance and quality control.

“Every investment we make in our fulfillment network is driven by one goal: making it faster and easier for our customers to get the products they need,” Nando Cunha, chief operating officer at SupplyHouse said. “By expanding our presence in the southeast, we’re bringing inventory closer to our customers, reducing transit times and continuing to deliver the reliable service our customers count on every day.”

State officials highlighted Georgia’s infrastructure and workforce resources when welcoming the investment. Kemp pointed to state programs aimed at attracting business development.

“SupplyHouse’s decision to invest in Georgia speaks to the success of our state’s approach to attracting job creators with our unique mix of assets, including our reliable infrastructure network and workforce development pipeline,” Kemp said, adding that Georgia was proud to welcome them to the state.

Local leaders in Henry County emphasized the impact the facility will have on the community tax base and job market.

“Locust Grove’s strategic location along Interstate 75 positions our city as a gateway to markets across the Southeast, making it an ideal home for SupplyHouse’s new distribution center serving its online customers,” Locust Grove Mayor Carlos Greer said. “We are proud to welcome SupplyHouse and the 330 new jobs it will bring to our community.”

The e-commerce company carries more than 350,000 products from more than 500 brands, operating primary fulfillment centers in Nevada, Texas, Ohio and New Jersey.

Pat Wilson, commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development, said transportation connections remain essential for e-commerce growth.

Construction on the Locust Grove facility is scheduled to begin in November 2026. The distribution center is projected to become fully operational in 2027.
