Medline to build Midwestern network with new 800,000-square-foot facility in Van Buren Township, Mich.

Northfield, Ill., Oct. 15, 2026 – Medline (Nasdaq: MDLN), the largest provider of medical-surgical products and supply chain solutions serving all points of care, has announced plans to open a new distribution center in Van Buren Township, Mich., a suburb of Detroit. The approximately 800,000-square-foot facility represents a new company investment in Michigan and the overall Medline distribution network, adding capacity and operational flexibility as Medline invests to support its own growth and the evolving needs of healthcare providers across all points of care.

“This investment in Van Buren Township reflects Medline’s continued focus on strengthening our Michigan distribution network and investing in our people,” said Billy Abrams, executive vice president of supply chain solutions at Medline. “The new facility allows us to add capacity and flexibility in a key Midwest market while giving our teams more tools, resources and support to serve healthcare providers across Michigan and the broader region.”

Tom Reynolds, executive vice president of acute care for Medline, added: “We expect this new facility to strengthen our ability to serve customers with a more resilient and responsive supply chain. Van Buren Township allows us to expand capacity and flexibility in Michigan, helping us better support healthcare providers across the state and the broader Midwest.”

Kevin McNamara, Van Buren Township supervisor, said the community is excited to welcome Medline.

“We expect this investment to bring new jobs, support local economic growth and show confidence in our community,” McNamara said. “Medline’s focus on innovation and healthcare makes them a strong addition to Van Buren Township.”

Ashley Capital, a developer and operator of logistics real estate, is leading development of the Van Buren Township site.

“We’re excited to support Medline’s continued growth in Michigan through the development of this new facility at our Crossroads Distribution Center North industrial park in Van Buren Township,” said Kevin Hegg, vice president at Ashley Capital. “This project represents a significant investment in the region and reinforces the importance of modern industrial infrastructure in supporting job creation, supply chain efficiency and long-term economic growth.”

The new facility is expected to house many of the same technologies already in use at other Medline facilities and is expected to begin serving customers in late 2028 across Michigan.
