Rinnai America Corp., a manufacturer of water heating and home comfort solutions, opened its new Rinnai America Commercial Manufacturing Facility and Distribution Center in Griffin, Georgia, on April 29. This marks the company’s third property in the region.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony brought together local officials, partners and community members, including Griffin Mayor Doug Hollberg and state Rep. Beth Camp, followed by guided tours of the new facility.

The 306,000-sq.-ft. facility currently supports assembly, distribution and training operations, enhancing capacity and reinforcing Rinnai’s ability to anticipate demand across product lines. The site serves as a primary manufacturing hub for Rinnai’s commercial water heating products. Designed for high-capacity, energy-efficient hot water delivery, these solutions support multifamily housing, hospitality and other large-scale applications, according to the company. The location also functions as a major distribution center for finished goods and service parts, supporting customer fulfillment and aftermarket operations.

“This investment reflects our confidence in the future of our business and our commitment to serving customers across North America,” says Frank Windsor, president of Rinnai America Corp. “It strengthens our ability to deliver reliable, high-performance solutions while equipping the PROs who rely on us every day to help create a healthier way of living.”

The site currently employs approximately 50 people and is positioned for future workforce growth across manufacturing, logistics and support functions as production needs increase.

The expansion builds on recent momentum in Griffin, including a visit last year from U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, which highlighted the company’s role in supporting American manufacturing and advancing energy policy priorities.

The addition builds on Rinnai’s existing Griffin operations, increasing manufacturing capacity, streamlining logistics and consolidating shipping into a single distribution point, according to the company. Rinnai began moving into the facility in February, with operations commencing in March. Rinnai partnered with leading organizations to bring the project to life, including PNK Group, which supported development and construction.

Rinnai also worked with Savills, which advised on the transaction and site-selection process.
