Kreate, a prominent innovation-driven manufacturing company with a vertically integrated business model, has introduced the HDX 2.5-Quart Mini Tough Tote, the smallest addition to its storage portfolio to date. Exclusively available through The Home Depot, this compact storage solution expands the HDX Tough Tote lineup, further strengthening a unified storage ecosystem designed to help consumers organize everything from small accessories to larger household items within a single, coordinated system.

Created to tackle everyday clutter, the HDX 2.5-Quart Mini Tough Tote is ideally suited for storing items such as cables, batteries, craft materials, hardware, tools, kitchen supplies, and other small essentials. Its modular, space-saving design enables seamless integration with other products in the HDX Tough Tote range, providing versatile organization options for garages, classrooms, dormitories, offices, apartments, and homes.

The new launch follows the strong consumer response to the HDX 6.5-Quart Mini Tough Tote, which gained widespread attention online and quickly sold out due to its practical size and functionality. Building on the popularity of that product, the 2.5-quart version delivers an even more compact and portable storage option while preserving the durability and performance associated with the HDX brand.

Manufactured from durable plastic resin, the HDX 2.5-Quart Mini Tough Tote includes a secure snap-lock lid, a nestable design for efficient storage, and built-in tie-down channels to simplify transport and organization. Its modular construction also allows two 2.5-quart totes to stack neatly atop the HDX 6.5-Quart Mini Tough Tote.

Kreate serves as the designer, manufacturer, and distributor of the HDX and Husky storage brands, both of which are sold exclusively through The Home Depot and are widely used by consumers across the United States. In 2025, Kreate earned The Home Depot's Partner of the Year award in the Storage category for the second consecutive year, and its recognized product range is available through Home Depot's online marketplace and retail stores nationwide.

The move is aimed at helping the company transition from research & development into a full fledged commercial venture.

Solidia Technologies®, a leading provider of decarbonization technologies and sustainable solutions to the construction and building materials industries, announced today that its headquarters will be relocated to San Antonio, Texas. The relocation and expansion are in line with the company's transition from R&D to commercial venture.

“We are excited to announce our move to a new executive office and state-of-the-art R&D facility centrally located in one of the world’s largest industrial markets for construction and building materials and sources of CO₂,” said CEO Russell Hill. “This move allows continued advancement of Solidia’s technology in proximity to customers, suppliers, and partners and is the ideal location for our emerging commercial ventures as we further our mission of decarbonizing the global building materials and construction industry.”

Solidia significantly reduces the carbon footprint of an industry responsible for 8% of global emissions by reducing CO2 emissions in cement production and strengthening concrete with captured CO2. The new 54,000-square-foot headquarters is intended to support the ongoing development and deployment of technologies that improve the performance of building materials and advance carbon capture, utilisation, and storage solutions (CCUS). The company will keep a branch office in New Jersey. Future plans include a commercial-scale production facility and satellite offices in key markets throughout the United States and abroad.

“Solidia is the right technology at the right time, and now we will be in the right location to fast-track our business growth, elevate building materials manufacturing with sustainable technologies, and advance carbon utilization with industrial leaders in CCUS technologies, including oil and gas providers,” said Dr. Hill.
