Bradford White Water Heaters introduces streamlined product label designed to elevate brand awareness and reinforce message of support for pro contractors and distributors
Bradford White Water Heaters, an industry-leading manufacturer of water heaters, boilers and storage tanks, introduces a new primary branding label for the company’s range of storage tanks and tank-style water heaters.
“The new label clearly and consistently communicates the Bradford White Water Heaters brand with customers and elevates brand awareness with end users,” said Neal Heyman, director of marketing for Bradford White Water Heaters. “Our previous labels had been developed at different times and for a variety of applications, and as a result did not offer a consistent presentation of our brand. Now, we’re confident that our label effectively highlights the Bradford White brand and reinforces the message of our commitment to professional installation.”
The new label will be featured across Bradford White Water Heater products as well as all Bradford White technical documents and marketing collateral, including the Bradford White Water Heaters website.

Broomfield, Colo. — Viega announced plans to expand its production capacity in McPherson, Kansas. The first wave of these investments is approximately $14 million and will increase the U.S. production of its industry-leading ProPress® products.
“As we continue to grow the business, we are bringing more production to the United States,” said Markus Brettschneider, CEO and President of Viega LLC. “These investments in our U.S. footprint will further support demand and leverage the talented U.S. manufacturing workforce, starting with the expansion of production capacity in Kansas.”
The McPherson manufacturing and distribution center is currently around 1 million sq. ft, with the facility more than doubling its footprint and workforce since opening in 2008. The new ProPress equipment is expected to be in production by the end of Q3 2023, with additional investments to come.
“We are proud to produce our fittings right here in Kansas. As we increase our U.S.-made products, we remain committed to creating highly skilled jobs in America, building out more sustainable manufacturing processes, and developing tomorrow’s workforce,” said Marki Huston, Head of Manufacturing for Viega LLC.
In addition to its McPherson, Kansas facility, Viega supports its customers and partners through distribution centers in Reno, Nev. and Carlisle, Penn., with further North American expansion planned for 2024 and 2025.
