Posted on September 26, 2013 We’re celebrating the Made in America movement here at Deer Valley Plumbing by highlighting a few key U.S. plumbing manufacturers. While other companies have moved manufacturing facilities south of the border, Bradford White Water Heaters has invested in American jobs. As demand for their products grows, they continue to expand their manufacturing facility in Middleville, Michigan and hire American workers who take great pride in building the best products the industry has to offer. Celebrating 75 years of American manufacturing, InSinkErator announces a new line of PRO Series food waste disposers available July 2013. PRO Series models feature more power and longer warranties and a brand new low-profile model. InSinkErator, with its headquarter and manufacturing facility in Racine, WI was founded in 1938 by John Hammes, who invented the food waste disposer. A. O. Smith produced its first residential water heater in 1939, establishing a tradition of innovation that continues to this day. In 1953, A. O. Smith shipped its first commercial water heater equipped with a “glass-lined” tank, which remains the industry standard for protecting steel from the corrosive effects of water. A.O. Smith sells exclusively through wholesalers to plumbing contractors and manufactures its residential products in Ashland City, Tennessee.
