Why This Matters to Distributors: FGI Industries is adding distribution capacity in Houston as the kitchen and bath supplier looks to position inventory closer to customers and improve product availability across its wholesale, retail, and commercial channels.
FGI Industries Ltd. is expanding its North American distribution network with a 54,000-square-foot distribution center in Houston, adding capacity to serve customers across key U.S. markets.
The East Hanover, New Jersey-based kitchen and bath products supplier said the facility is expected to begin operations in the fourth quarter of 2026. FGI did not disclose its investment in the facility, expected employment or the specific geographic markets it will serve.
FGI said the Houston operation will give the company additional capacity to position inventory closer to customer demand, improve product availability, and increase flexibility across its retail, wholesale, and commercial channels.
The facility also will provide additional distribution support for FGI’s CONTRAC and CRAFT + MAIN brands.
“The addition of our Houston distribution center marks another significant milestone for FGI,” CEO David Bruce said.
FGI supplies sanitaryware, bath furniture, shower systems, kitchen cabinetry and other kitchen and bath products. Its customers include wholesalers, commercial distributors, mass retailers, online retailers and independent dealers and distributors.
Wholesale distribution is an important part of FGI’s North American business. The company sells through large kitchen and bath wholesalers, including Ferguson, as well as independent distributors and dealers.
CONTRAC is FGI’s wholesale-focused sanitaryware brand, while CRAFT + MAIN includes shower systems, bath furniture, and cabinetry products. FGI also manufactures private-label products for other companies.
The Houston expansion comes as FGI seeks to increase sales through commercial channels and independent kitchen and bath distributors while expanding its branded business.
FGI said the new distribution center is intended to improve inventory availability and make its supply chain more responsive as the company grows. The company did not say whether the Houston operation will handle new volume exclusively or shift some distribution activity from existing facilities.
