Company spends $250 million to rebuild and reopen the site which was damaged by Hurricane Laura in 2020.
November 11, 2022

Editor-in-Chief
KIK Consumer Products, maker of pool and household cleaning products, has reopened its trichlor production facility in Westlake, LA. The facility, which is KIK's BioLab subsidiary, was damaged by Hurricane Laura in 2020. KIK invested more than $250 million to rebuild and reopen its damaged site. The company held a ribbon cutting ceremony earlier this month with Senator Bill Cassidy, Congressman Clay Higgins, and Don Pierson, Secretary of Louisiana Economic Development, joining BioLab employees, retail partners, construction and other local partners including the Lake Charles Metal Trades Council, as well as other members of the community in the celebration of the event. The new facility will employ nearly 80 staff, which KIK says reflects BioLab's commitment to building on its deep-rooted legacy in Louisiana, where it has operated for decades. Importantly, the facility is reconstructed with improved production flexibility, which will enable BioLab to more effectively meet the demand for pool cleaning products. “Our plant stands here today as a demonstration of the resiliency of our workforce and the people of Louisiana who have made this project possible. With the support of the people, businesses, and institutions across Lake Charles, including the Louisiana State Police and local fire department and law enforcement, we have delivered on our promise of rebuilding and reinvesting in the future of not only this facility – but the future of this community,” said Jeff Schmitt, COO of KIK Consumer Products. Since 1993, KIK has successfully grown from a single-plant operator in store-branded/private label bleach to a growing North American independent marketer and manufacturer in household cleaning products and a global player in pool and spa treatment and automotive products. KIK’s brands including Bioguard, Clorox Pool and Spa, Spic and Span and Comet.
