Midwest Block & Brick Opens
New Facility

Midwest Block & Brick, St. Louis, is constructing a new 10,000-square-foot office and warehouse facility in Gray Summit, Mo. The new facility is scheduled to open in early April.

The new building will include the company’s offices, a spacious warehouse, and will feature a deluxe 2,000-square-foot showroom. HKW Architects, also headquartered in St. Louis, designed the facility.

Midwest Block & Brick says the new warehouse and showroom were designed to provide products to meet the masonry and landscaping needs of the growing communities in Franklin and West St. Louis Counties. Thus, the facility will service the Franklin County communities of Augusta, Labadie, Pacific, St. Clair, Union and Washington; and the St. Louis County communities of Eureka, St. Albans and Wildwood. The company will continue to maintain their other area locations in Wentzville, Mo., and Waterloo, Ill.

In addition to Midwest Block & Brick, parent company Midwest Products Group has several divisions headquartered in the St. Louis region, including Kirchner Block & Brick and St. Louis Retaining Wall Company. MD
