One of the largest manufacturers of residential and commercial water heaters in the country, Bradford White Corp. takes safety seriously. The private, American-owned company does not sell its products directly to consumers. Instead, Bradford White water heaters are only sold to professional installers at various supply houses. This approach ensures proper product selection and safe installation of its water heaters in compliance with codes and standards.
Each year, thousands of plumbers, contractors and distributors visit Bradford White’s International Technical Excellence Center, an 18,500-square-foot training facility located next to the company’s assembly plant in Middleville, MI. As part of their training, installers get to tour the company’s assembly lines to see how water heaters are made.
