North Caroline-based Fortiline Waterworks, a wholesale distributor of underground water, sewer and storm utility products, announced it opened a branch in December at 14500 Beamer Road, Friendswood. The company will move into a 12,000-square-foot warehouse with a 10-acre yard that was previously occupied by the waterworks division of Fort Worth-based Morrison Supply Co., which occupied the facility since April. The Fortiline branch will offer high-density polyethylene piping and McElroy fusion equipment. Morrison Supply Co. finalized its acquisition of Fortiline in October. www.fortiline.com
