Moen recently celebrated the grand opening of its brand-new distribution center in North Las Vegas.

Known as the Prologis Speedway North Distribution Center 1, the nearly 700,000-square-foot facility has been designed to allow the company to increase inventory on the West Coast, improving lead times and reducing transportation costs. Built in partnership with the building owner, Prologis, Inc., the construction was led by Layton Construction Company, LLC, and began in February 2023. With new warehouse management systems and automated elements, customers can expect improved efficiency and enhanced overall service to meet their ever-evolving needs.

“The official opening of this distribution center marks an important milestone in streamlined operations for Moen and in creating even more exceptional experiences for those we serve,” said Ron Wilson, executive vice president and chief supply chain officer, Fortune Brands Innovations. “Thanks to the building’s high level of automation, enhanced ergonomics and other elements supporting productivity, we’re anticipating as much as a 200% increase in product volume out of the building and approximately a 30% faster lead time in serving West Coast customers as compared to our previous center in the area. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this new facility has on our business, the community of North Las Vegas and our customers west of the Mississippi and beyond.”

Aligning with the new center’s focus on innovation, the building will serve as a hub for Moen’s game-changing Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff – an innovative device which offers a digitally driven and proactive approach to leak detection, with the ability to help reduce household water wasted through preventable leaks by up to 90%.* An array of other Moen products will be distributed from the facility as well.

A longtime member of the community, Moen previously operated a distribution center in North Las Vegas. While yesterday served as the official opening of the new facility, operations have already begun, with work starting this past summer. To support the operations at this larger center, approximately 10% more workers were hired as compared to the previous facility in North Las Vegas.

“As a valued and longstanding member of our community, we are excited to have Moen growing in North Las Vegas. Their investment reflects the growth and opportunity we’re fostering for businesses to thrive. This state-of-the-art distribution center will not only create meaningful career paths rooted in our city for our residents but also solidify North Las Vegas as a key hub for industrial and commercial expansion. We look forward to the positive impact Moen will continue to have on our local economy,” said City of North Las Vegas Mayor Pamela Goynes-Brown.

Sustainability also will be top of mind at the state-of-the-art center. As part of Moen’s robust recycling program, the facility will feature new innovations, such as an automated machine that will optimize box sizes to minimize cardboard usage and eliminate the need for plastic air pillows. Solar energy also will be integrated during 2025 as another means to help reduce the facility’s environmental footprint.
