Rinnai to be First U.S. Tankless Water Heater Manufacturer
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. –Rinnai Corporation will be the first to manufacture tankless gas water heaters in North America.
Rinnai America Corporation, a subsidiary of Rinnai Corporation, plans to build its first North American manufacturing facility in Griffin, Georgia. The company intends to start its manufacturing and assembly operations in an existing factory in Griffin in April 2018 and then move these operations to a new 300,000-square-foot facility that Rinnai will construct. Rinnai will produce both residential and commercial products in Griffin.
Many Americans want to see more job creation in the United States. Consumers and trade professionals see the importance of purchasing and installing domestically produced products, which help spur the U.S. economy.
Rinnai’s manufacturing operations will complement its growing presence in the Atlanta area. The Griffin operations are in proximity to Rinnai’s North American headquarters in Peachtree City and to Atlanta Motor Speedway, where Rinnai leverages its branding via its multi-year sponsorship of the NASCAR XFINITY Series Rinnai 250 race, showcases product installations and entertains over 2,000 plumbing and contractor professionals each year.
In addition, in July 2017 Rinnai America officials announced the company will expand its North American headquarters by building a new two-story headquarters building and by launching a North America Innovation and Training Center.
