About Us

Brothers Richard and Donald Rheem founded Rheem Manufacturing Company in Emeryville, CA, in 1925. While the company has produced a number of products in its nearly 100 years of operation, Rheem is currently the only manufacturer in the world that produces heating, cooling, water heating, pool & spa heating and commercial refrigeration products, and it is the largest manufacturer of water heating products in North America.

We’re delivering A Greater Degree of Good as we work toward achieving our environmental sustainability goals. Check out our latest Sustainability Progress Report to see our commitments and the difference we’re making around the world.

Our approach as a company is to keep the dialogue ongoing and to listen. Then act. The innovations we’ve developed throughout the years in the heating, cooling and water heating industries are a direct result of that process. And we have a long list of industry firsts to show for it, with more to come.

It is our policy to promote a culture of continual improvement that is committed to exceeding customer expectations and requirements by providing products and services of excellent quality.
