Rheem Canada consolidated the physical operations of its
three business units – heating and cooling; water heating; and swimming pool heaters
and boilers (marketed under the Rheem, Ruud, Raypak and WeatherKing labels) –
into a single headquarters and distribution center in Brampton, Ontario, a
Toronto suburb. The relocation to the new 220,000-square-foot, two-story
facility is designed to drive higher levels of customer service as well as
operational efficiency.
With more than 60 employees, Rheem
Canada is now responsible for all operations and distribution under the
leadership of General ManagerDave McPherson. In addition,
the restructuring will set up an enlargement of the heating, ventilation and
air conditioning unit, according to Rheem Canada Market ManagerPaul
Gharghoury. “The HVAC expansion opportunity enables Rheem Canada to
hire new employees and help stimulate the local job market,” he stated in the
announcement.
Besides more space for office and warehousing,
the new building will also feature a 10,000-square-foot training facility for
use by virtually the entire supply chain. The facility will include a 60-person
training room, a showroom to display current products, and an engineering lab
for hands-on product training and testing.
The building,
which is currently being processed for LEED certification, may also soon become
one of the largest registered commercial buildings in Canada to be
LEED-certified.
