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.

“With the continued growth of the business, we've outpaced the warehouse storage capacity at our existing Florida distribution center,” said Andre Battistin, vice president of Westlake Pipe & Fittings. “This distribution center will allow us to consolidate our pipe and fittings from multiple sites into one location, and promptly fill orders for both products.”

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.

“As 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,” said Battistin. “As a critical part of our growth strategy and the focus to better serve our customers, we’ll continue to expand the distribution network, increasing the size and number of distribution centers across North America.”

Lakeland represents the fifth distribution center expanded with plans to add three more in 2024, focused on the Northeast and the West Coast, and continued expansion in 2025.
