“I believe ‘American-made’ is more important than many people realize. And when you look at theroot cause behind the upswing in patriotic consumer attitudes, you realize you can’t overdo it.Bradford White is going to continue to put special emphasis on being an American-owned andAmerican-made company.” That was a quote from A. Robert Carnevale, then president and CEO,way back in January of 1993. At that time, the “new” Bradford White Corporation was only sixmonths old, and many said that a company that sold only through wholesale distribution, withproducts designed only for the professional installer, could never survive.

While competitors have been bought, sold and merged, Bradford White has remained true to its founding principles:

• Supporting the American worker by manufacturing its products in the United States

• Employee ownership to encourage greater pride and loyalty

• Dedication to the trade through wholesale-only distribution

As a featured speaker at a recent industry event, current President and CEO Nicholas J. Giuffrewas quoted as saying:

“We still hold true to those three core values, which continue to resonate withour customers today,” he said. “Every time we go to a meeting like this, or visitwith customers out in the field, we are reminded how important these principlesare to them. It’s what defines us, and it’s a very comfortable fit for us.”

While others have moved manufacturing facilities south of the border,Bradford White has invested in American jobs. As demand for its productshas grown, Bradford White has continued to expand its manufacturingfacility in Middleville, Michigan and hire American workers. Still built inAmerica’s heartland and still proudly headquartered in Ambler,Pennsylvania, Bradford White has also grown through the acquisition ofother companies with manufacturing facilities in the United States:Laars Heating Systems in Rochester, New Hampshire; and Niles SteelTank in Niles, Michigan.

Bradford White’s philosophy, coupled with a passionatedetermination to build the best quality and most reliable product in

the industry, has proved to be a winning formula. As Bradford Whitecelebrates its 20th anniversary as an independent manufacturer dedicated to the professionalcontractor and wholesale distributor, its business is stronger than ever.

Thanks to the support of the professional contractor and wholesale distributor, Bradford Whitecontinues to grow. The company has recently completed numerous capacity improvementprojects, and is embarking on its largest plant expansion to date…all in America!

So, while other companies may talk about the importance of American manufacturing, at leastone company is actually doing something about it…Bradford White Corporation.
