Kuiken Brothers announced their ninth residential and commercial building materials location in Newark, New Jersey is now open. With convenient connectivity via road and rail and waterfront access on Port Newark’s shipping channel, the facility will help Kuiken Brothers better serve its expanding marketplace in the New Jersey/New York metro region.

Established in 1912, Kuiken Brothers has grown to be a leading supplier of quality residential and commercial building materials with a focus on serving the needs of professional builders, remodelers, developers, and property owners. With more than 300 employees and a total of nine locations, Kuiken Brothers is well positioned to supply and service the region.

“For many years, we have supplied a wide range of residential and commercial projects in Essex, Hudson, and Union Counties,” noted Doug Kuiken, President of Kuiken Brothers. “The Newark location will provide us with even greater access, allow for faster delivery into these markets, and will open up opportunities for new relationships to be established with building professionals in the region, including Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and coastal New Jersey markets.”

The facility, located at 500 Doremus Avenue, approximately one mile off Exit 15E on the New Jersey Turnpike, offers easy access to Route 78, Route 280, Routes 1 & 9, and the Garden State Parkway, with delivery capabilities including flatbeds, tractor trailers, truck mounted moffett forklifts, and 4, 6, and 8-story boom trucks.

The 10-acre site features covered storage, including a drive-through warehouse with nine loading docks, an automated racking system and exterior covered racking (storage sheds and cantilever systems). All of these structures were designed and built to provide covered storage for product categories to include lumber, windows, doors, moulding, drywall, steel studs, insulation, acoustical ceilings, hardware, plywood, panels, engineered lumber and decking. Over a quarter mile of rail siding to the waterfront accommodates the direct shipment of lumber, plywood and drywall from premier lumber mills and manufacturing facilities in North America.
