KLW Plastics inaugurated its second production facility in Houston, TX, in February 2008. Houston was selected due to its proximity to our large current and prospective customer base as well as to geographically broaden KLW’s U.S. footprint. KLW’s president, Mike Legeza, commented that “Houston allows KLW to serve a broader reach of customers, delivering superior quality and logistics reliability to new customers previously disadvantaged by high freight costs and excessive transit time. With a manufacturing presence in Houston that can competitively serve the South, Southeast, and South West U.S., KLW is the sole national supplier of environmentally-friendly 3.5 to 7 gallon plastic containers that meet increasingly stringent state packaging regulations.” KLW- Houston shipped its initial truck load in the first week of March 2008. As demand continues to increase, the company plans to increase capacity in Houston while exploring potential locations for a third production facility.
