HydroBlok has announced it is moving manufacturing from Asia to Utah. Supported by the Economic Development Corporation of Utah (EDCUtah), World Trade Center Utah and Utah’s robust manufacturing community, along with strategic partners like Nilson Homes, L.K.L. & Associates, and Little Giant Ladder Systems®—the move demonstrates HydroBlok’s commitment to “Built Here,” strengthening local innovation, creating jobs, and fueling economic growth across the state.
