The new facility, featuring close to 200,000 square feet of warehouse storage for PVC fittings and an additional four acres dedicated to pipe storage, triples the available storage capacity in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the continued growth of the business, we’ve outpaced the warehouse storage capacity at our existing Florida distribution center,\u201d said Andre Battistin, vice president of Westlake Pipe & Fittings. \u201cThis distribution center will allow us to consolidate our pipe and fittings from multiple sites into one location, and promptly fill orders for both products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategic location of the Lakeland distribution center enables Westlake Pipe & Fittings to offer unparalleled service to its customers across six market segments: Municipal, Plumbing, Electrical, Agriculture & Irrigation, Water Well, and Pool & Spa. Customers can now streamline their procurement process by placing one purchase order, with shipments reliably delivered on time and in full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we work toward providing a more interconnected and streamlined approach to our business, many of our customers see value in purchasing a complete PVC pipe and fittings system from the same company,\u201d said Battistin. \u201cAs a critical part of our growth strategy and the focus to better serve our customers, we\u2019ll continue to expand the distribution network, increasing the size and number of distribution centers across North America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
