Taco Family of Companies, based in Cranston, R.I., has acquired the Taconova Group, which creates innovative hydronic solutions for heating, plumbing and solar energy applications in residential and commercial buildings.
John Hazen White, Sr., second-generation owner of Taco, started Taconova in 1961 as a European trading company for Taco Inc. before selling it to the Guinness Group in 1980. Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, Taconova specializes in intelligent building technology solutions. The company offers a broad range of hydronic applications, including hydronic balancing, underfloor heating, distribution technology, system technology and valves. This acquisition now strengthens Taco’s presence in Europe, especially the northern markets.
