Bio-Lab, a division of KIK Consumer Products, announced it will invest at least $8 million to expand its Calcasieu Parish manufacturing operations, adding new finished goods production capacity for its pool care product line. The project builds on Southwest Louisiana’s chemical manufacturing base and supports production of consumer products used nationwide.
The expansion will take place at Bio-Lab’s existing manufacturing facility in Westlake, with site preparation to begin in July and construction continuing through the end of the year. Operations are expected to begin in early 2027.
The investment will add tableting and blending capabilities to the site’s current chemical production operations, supporting finished goods manufacturing for the company’s pool care product line. The additional capacity will improve efficiency and support long-term operations at the facility.
Bio-Lab has operated in Southwest Louisiana since 1979, manufacturing pool and spa treatment products from its Westlake facility for customers across North America. The latest expansion builds on the company’s continued presence in the region and supports long-term production capacity for its pool care product line used by residential and commercial customers.
