Rheem Marks 100 Years of Innovation and Leadership

Rheem, a renowned name in the water heating and HVAC/R industry, launched its 100th-anniversary celebration, marking a century of innovation and excellence. The celebration underscores Rheem's commitment to its 14,000 employees, customers, and industry partners. Festivities will continue through 2025.

"As we celebrate Rheem's 100th anniversary, we reflect on the incredible journey that has brought us to this moment," noted Chris Peel, CEO of Rheem. He highlighted the company's evolution as a leader in sustainable solutions driven by its founding values.

Established in 1925 by the Rheem brothers in California, the company initially produced steel drums and barrels. Over the years, Rheem has become a pioneer in heating, cooling, and water heating technologies. Global celebrations, including the sealing of a time capsule to be opened in 2050, are planned.
