Woodward is proud to share progress on our latest project with Gulf Distributing Company in Huntsville, Alabama. This project represents the continued growth of a strong partnership focused on delivering facilities that support Gulf’s expanding distribution operations across the Gulf Coast.

Our teams first partnered on Gulf’s $36 million headquarters revitalization in Mobile, Alabama, a transformative project that reimagined the company’s home base and drew regional attention. Building on that success, Woodward is now providing design and construction services for the $9 million, 65,000-square-foot warehouse expansion and site improvements, expanding their existing 109,000-square-foot office and warehouse facility in Huntsville.

Once complete, the facility will function as a large open distribution warehouse designed to support Gulf’s growing operations in North Alabama. The project’s design focuses on improving efficiency and movement across what has historically been a very congested site.

Eight new loading docks, a dedicated truck driveway, and additional truck parking are being added to significantly improve truck circulation, alleviating congestion both within the warehouse and across the property.

“Projects like this are about more than just adding square footage,” said Jered Smith, Senior Project Manager at Woodward. “By working closely with Gulf’s operations team, we’re able to design solutions that improve how their trucks move through the site, how product moves through the warehouse, and ultimately how efficiently their business runs day to day.”

Projects like this highlight Woodward’s Built for Business (B4B) approach—working alongside clients to design and construct facilities that strengthen their operations. By collaborating closely with Gulf’s operations team throughout design and construction, we help shape facilities that not only meet today’s needs but improve efficiency, streamline logistics, and support long-term growth.

For businesses like Gulf Distributing, the right facility isn’t just a building—it’s a tool that keeps business moving. As our partnership continues to grow across the Gulf Coast, Woodward remains focused on helping companies build the spaces they need to operate, expand, and succeed.
