35 HVAC and Plumbing Manufacturers to Celebrate on World Manufacturing Day

Written by Kelly Patterson | Oct 4, 2016 6:05:00 PM

For the vast majority of recordable time on earth, humans produced the items they needed by hand. Tools were crafted with slow and painstaking steps. In time, as humans gained more knowledge and experience, they developed methods to create the items more quickly, perhaps with more advanced tools.   It wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution, which began in England in the 18th century, that the world was introduced to machinery designed specifically for production purposes. The era of modern manufacturing was born.

Manufacturing made everything happen faster. Production increased to a rapid-fire pace. Consumers couldn’t get enough. Mass transportation was launched as a way to get things into the hands of people faster. Then the factories figured out ways to speed up production. And the whole idea spiraled up until history led us right to the massive manufacturing industry today.

The originators of the manufacturing process may not even recognize it today. We’re in the beginning stages of what has come to be known as Industry 4.0, the fourth wave of the industrial revolution where processes are becoming more digitized and integrated than ever before.

Manufacturing has made our world completely new. Without it, we certainly wouldn't have the high-efficiency boilers, streamlined pumps, smart valves, innovative controls systems,flexible connectors or any of the other phenomenal equipment that helps building owners increase their HVAC and plumbing efficiency and reduce energy costs.

Our company has the great privilege to partner with some of the best in American manufacturing. Today, we celebrate our partners while we salute their efforts to produce high-quality equipment that will serve our customers well for many years.

As a celebration of World Manufacturing Day on October 7, 2016, we honor our 35 manufacturing partners and wish them continued success (listed in alpha order here).
