HydroBlok™ Onshores Manufacturing to Utah

HydroBlok™ has announced the relocation of its manufacturing operations from Asia to Utah, marking a major milestone in reshoring American production. Supported by the Economic Development Corporation of Utah (EDCUtah), World Trade Center Utah, and a network of strategic partners—including Nilson Homes, L.K.L. & Associates, and Little Giant Ladder Systems®—the move reinforces HydroBlok’s “Built Here” commitment to local innovation and job creation.

Strengthening Local Industry and Jobs

By establishing its plant in Utah, HydroBlok™ joins a growing movement to reverse the offshoring trend that saw over $13 billion in imported construction materials in 2023 alone. This investment empowers Utah’s skilled workforce and ensures the benefits of manufacturing stay within the local economy.

“This is more than just onshoring—it’s a commitment to Utah’s future,” said Colin House, CEO of HydroBlok™. “By investing in Utah-based manufacturing, we strengthen our local economy, create new jobs, and take part in Governor Cox’s vision for a thriving, innovative state leading the nation.”

Community and Economic Leaders Respond

• Scott Cuthbertson, President of EDCUtah, emphasized the company’s role in advancing Utah’s construction supply chain:

  “HydroBlok™ is driving meaningful change in the building products sector and their commitment to growing in rural Utah brings 200 high-quality jobs to the region.”

• Jared Hamner, Tooele County Council Chairman, added:

  “HydroBlok’s investment will bring quality career jobs and strengthen our local economy while helping builders meet housing demands.”

• Ryan Moss, CEO of Little Giant Ladder Systems®, noted:
