We’re excited to announce the opening of our new 11,000 sq. ft. Hydro Blok warehouse in St. Louis, Missouri. This expansion marks a major step forward in improving delivery speed, reducing backorders, and strengthening our ability to serve customers nationwide. The new facility enhances efficiency and ensures faster access to our full range of shower systems and accessories.
Strengthening Our Supply Chain
Lessons from the Pandemic
Like many businesses, Hydro Blok faced supply chain challenges during the pandemic. Shipping delays and material shortages limited our ability to maintain the inventory levels our customers expected.
The Impact of Low Inventory
Reduced inventory led to more frequent backorders and longer project timelines. Customers often had to spend additional time and resources to locate products or wait for restocks, which slowed down installations and construction schedules.
Building Resilience for the Future
Our new warehouse directly addresses these issues. By expanding our storage capacity, we’ve built a more resilient supply chain that can absorb disruptions and maintain steady stock levels. The result: fewer backorders and faster order fulfillment for every customer.
Operations at the New Facility
Efficient Layout and Fulfillment
The St. Louis warehouse is designed with optimized workflow and fulfillment systems. With dedicated areas for product storage, picking, packing, and shipping, we can now process orders more quickly and accurately.
Product Availability
From shower benches to niches and caddies, the new facility holds our full range of Hydro Blok products. Increased capacity ensures we can respond promptly to spikes in demand or regional inventory shifts.
Regional Advantages
While the warehouse enhances operations across the entire U.S., customers in the eastern United States will experience the most noticeable improvement — faster deliveries, fewer delays, and a smoother purchasing experience overall.
Looking Ahead
The opening of our St. Louis warehouse represents more than just added space — it’s a commitment to reliability, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. With stronger logistics and faster service, Hydro Blok continues to evolve to meet the needs of modern builders, designers, and homeowners.
