Minnesota-based King Technology is expanding its operational footprint with a new 208,000-square-foot distribution and manufacturing facility in the Lakeside Logistics Center in St. Peters. Founded in 1978, the third-generation, family-owned company is the market leader in hot tub and swim spa water care and a leading innovator in pool water care. The company is best known for its FROG® family of pre-filled, easy-to-use water care products that keep water clean and clear while using significantly less chlorine.
“This is an exciting milestone. King Technology has been successful for nearly 50 years, and this investment is about building the next 50,” said Mike Noer, President and CEO of King Technology. As we work toward becoming a 100-year company, expanding our operational footprint is an important step in our future. We’re grateful for the partnership and excited to become part of this community.”
“From the beginning, we’ve felt incredibly welcomed by the City of St. Peters and St. Charles County,” said Carson King, Vice President of Operations at King Technology. “The region’s commitment to business, talented workforce and strong sense of faith, family and community reflect the values behind our mission to ‘Enrich Lives Daily.’”
The new facility represents a significant investment in King Technology’s long-term growth and will strengthen the company’s ability to serve distributors and dealers across the country.
“King Technology's decision to expand in St. Charles County is a strong endorsement of the business environment we've all worked hard to create,” said Scott Drachnik, President & CEO of the Economic Development Council (EDC) of St. Charles County. “We look forward to supporting their continued growth and are excited to officially welcome them to our community.”
The St. Peters facility will initially serve as a central hub for warehousing, distribution and fulfillment operations, strengthening the company’s supply chain and enabling more efficient service to customers nationwide. Manufacturing operations will be added in phases over time.
